How do I extract just a few pages?

Choose "Page ranges", type them (for example 2, 5-7) and tick "put the chosen pages into one PDF".

How are the split files named?

Each file is named after the original: report-page-3.pdf for single pages, report-pages-1-5.pdf for chunks, report-5-10.pdf for a typed range — so a folder of splits stays in order.

What is the chunks option for?

It cuts the document into equal parts — every 10 pages, say — which is handy for emailing a large file in pieces or splitting a scanned book into chapters.

Does splitting work on a scanned PDF?

Yes. Pages are copied, never re-rendered, so a scan splits exactly like a text PDF with nothing degraded.

Can I split a very large PDF?

Yes, within what your device’s memory can hold. Hundreds of pages are fine.
