Split PDF

Handling a lot of documents on your computer, although easier than having to deal with them in physical form, can be stressful, especially if they're large and sorting them can take forever.

However, you can always find a helping hand in the vast world of software applications. Split PDF is one of the programs that can help you turn large PDFs into more manageable versions of themselves.

Since it's a portable application, you don't need to install this program on your computer. Simply unpacking the archive it comes in and launching the executable through a command prompt should be enough to grant you full access to its functions.

More so, you can run it from removable storage media such as USB flash drives or HDDs. It will even leave your Windows registry files untouched and won't generate extra files or folders without your permission.

As you probably figured out from its name, this application was designed to help you separate large, multi-page PDF documents on your computer into several smaller ones, as you find convenient.

You only need to feed Split PDF with the following: an input filename or a list of files in a text document, a name for the output document, a destination folder name, the page or page range to split and a bunch of other parameters that you can view by attempting to run the app without any argument.

Something novices might find inconvenient is the fact that this application doesn't feature a standard Graphical User Interface (GUI). Instead, it prompts you with a Command Line Interface (CLI).

However, as explained earlier, attempting to run the app without any arguments gives you the list of parameters you need to append as well as a bunch of examples, ensuring that even inexperienced users can benefit from its capabilities.

If you're in need of a lightweight tool that can split PDFs on your PC, you might consider using Split PDF. It comes with a Command Line Interface but features everything to help you get the work done efficiently.
