Guide to bookmark-perfect splits

SplitPDF reads outlines so you can slice chapter-sized PDFs without renaming chaos. Follow these checkpoints for predictable exports.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Inspect the outline

    Upload your PDF and open the Bookmark mode. Chapters appear in order, along with the start page so you can trust the cut points.

  2. 2

    Select only the chapters you need

    Tick the checkboxes for the sections you actually want. SplitPDF keeps file names readable using the bookmark titles.

  3. 3

    Use batch management before downloading

    After splitting, rename or preview every exported chapter inside the Batch Download panel before you grab the ZIP.

QA tip

Use the demo file

surgical-demo.pdf includes a three-level outline so you can rehearse detection in every locale.
