How to separate PDF pages on an iPhone.
For personal or professional reasons, you may need to split a PDF to highlight certain pieces of content or make it easier for viewers to get only the information they need. Separating PDFs from your iPhone is convenient, as our phones are usually with us more often than our laptops or desktops. The Files app is native to iPhones and can help you quickly separate PDF pages as needed.
- Open your PDF and tap the share icon.
- Select Print.
- From there, select Range and specify which pages will be the starting ones and which will be the ending ones. You can also swipe through and uncheck any unwanted pages by selecting the page thumbnail.
- Choose Print.
- Select an app or choose Save to Files. It will create a new PDF with your newly selected pages and save it.
You can also repeat these steps and split your PDF even further.
