    Hello, my name is Erin.
  • 00:00:15
    [Chime sound]
  • 00:00:17
    In a recent tutorial, we extracted pages from a PDF in Adobe Acrobat.
  • 00:00:23
    Today, we’re going to split a PDF into multiple PDFs in Adobe Acrobat.
  • 00:00:29
    You may be wondering, “what is the difference between splitting PDFs and extracting pages?”
  • 00:00:36
    The split option lets you create new PDFs according to the number of pages, file size, or top-level bookmarks in the original PDF.
  • 00:00:46
    This option is best for segmenting long documents, such as saving chapters as individual files.
  • 00:00:55
    The extract pages option lets you save individual pages, page ranges, even or odd pages,
  • 00:01:02
    or  landscape or portrait pages as separate PDFs.
  • 00:01:07
    This option is best when you need to separate a small number of specific pages from a longer document.
  • 00:01:14
    Today I’ll be using Adobe Acrobat DC.
  • 00:01:18
    These steps also apply to Adobe Acrobat 2020 and Adobe Acrobat 2017.
  • 00:01:25
    In addition, the steps are similar for PC and Mac users.
  • 00:01:30
    The few differences between the two systems are explained within the individual steps.
  • 00:01:36
    Adobe’s free PDF display software, Acrobat Reader, doesn’t offer a way to split PDFs.
  • 00:01:46
    To begin, open the PDF that you want to split.
  • 00:01:51
    And then select the Tools tab.
  • 00:01:54
    Next, select Organize Pages in the Tools Center.
  • 00:01:59
    Followed by Split in the Organize Pages toolbar.
  • 00:02:04
    Now, select an option from the Split by menu.
  • 00:02:08
    You can select number of pages, file size, or top-level bookmarks.
  • 00:02:15
    If you selected number of pages or file size, enter the number of pages or megabytes into the secondary menu.
  • 00:02:24
    Now, select Output Options.
  • 00:02:27
    When the Output Options dialog box appears, you can select the folder where you want to save your new PDFs.
  • 00:02:34
    "The Same Folder Selected at Start" is the location of the PDF you are splitting.
  • 00:02:41
    "A Folder on My Computer" lets you select another  folder or accessible cloud storage such as OneDrive.
  • 00:02:49
    If you choose this option, select the Browse button on a PC or the Choose button on a Mac.
  • 00:02:56
    And then find and select the folder in the Select Folder for Output Files dialog box
  • 00:03:02
    and select the Select Folder button on a PC
  • 00:03:07
    or the Choose button on a Mac.
  • 00:03:11
    Next, select your file labeling options.
  • 00:03:15
    The default option will place an underscore followed by the label “Part” and the part number after the original file name,
  • 00:03:23
    as shown in this example.
  • 00:03:26
    Now, ensure that "Do not overwrite existing files" is checked to prevent accidentally deleting the original PDF.
  • 00:03:35
    And then select the OK button.
  • 00:03:39
    Followed by the blue Split button.
  • 00:03:43
    Lastly, select the OK button in the dialog box stating that your PDF was successfully split.
  • 00:03:52
    Your new PDFs should now appear in the location you selected in the Output Options dialog box.
  • 00:03:59
    I chose my Desktop, so when I navigate there, I do see the new files.
  • 00:04:08
