APSplit
Version 3.5 · Windows, Linux, AIX, SolarisSplit & Extract PDF Pages Automatically
Divide PDF documents any way you need — by bookmark, page range, odd/even, file size, or a regular-expression match — automatically, in high volume, from a single command line. Built on the Adobe PDF Library, for reliably correct output.
Delivering just the sections of a PDF that a customer requests online is a time-consuming process by hand. Instead, go automated with APSplit to reliably and rapidly split PDF documents in whatever way you need, including dividing files at bookmarks.
This server-based solution is designed for mission-critical on-demand and high-volume document processing, and is especially suited to organizations that use online forms to manage requests. With a wide range of features, APSplit is engineered for entirely unattended operation.
(If you need APSplit on the desktop, APSplit DE contains the same enterprise-class PDF splitting engine that powers APSplit and doesn’t require Adobe Acrobat.)
# Output Options
- Retain annotations from the original PDF document in the extracted output files
- Include bookmarks from the original file
- Optimize output PDFs for faster access and viewing when downloaded from the Web or a network
# Splitting Options
- Individual pages. Each page in the original document becomes a new document
- Odd pages. All of the odd pages in the original document are split into a new document
- Even pages. All of the even pages in the original document are split into a new document
- Page ranges. A single page range, consecutive page ranges of the same length, or multiple page ranges of any size and from any location in the original document are extracted to one or more documents
- First-level bookmarks. Each first-level bookmark section in the original document becomes a new document
- File size. The original document is split into one or more new documents based on a user-specified maximum output file size or page count
- Regular expressions. Split each time the text on a page matches a pattern you define — for example, at every new invoice or account number
# See It Work
Split a report into one file per top-level bookmark:
apsplit -bybookmarks -o /out report.pdf
Extract a page range to a single file:

apsplit -byfilesize -maxsize 2000 -maxcount 50 -o /out big.pdf
