If you only need part of that long PDF, you can easily break it down into chapters or pages — or even remove elements completely. That way, you're free to mark up, save, or send only what you need.

Organise pages.
You can extract PDF pages. Alternatively, you can reorder, replace, or delete them until your specific pages are organised exactly how you want them.
Break down PDF documents into individual pages.
Use our tool to separate one or more PDFs into multiple elements by specifying the number of pages, file size, or top-level bookmarks.
Customise your file.
Mix and match, reuse pages from multiple PDF documents, or separate PDF pages to customise your file with all the form fields, comments, and links included. Leave unwanted content in your original file or just delete it.
Work from anywhere.
With the Acrobat Reader mobile app, you’ve got a PDF tool that can reorder, delete, insert or rotate PDF pages right from your mobile device.
How to break up pages in your PDF:
- Open the PDF in Acrobat.
- Choose Organise Pages > Split.
- Choose how you want to split a single file or multiple files.
- Name and save: Click Output Options to decide where to save, what to name the file, and how to split your file.
- Separate your PDF: Click OK and then Split to finish. You can use additional PDF tools to extract pages or delete pages.
- Save as new file:
Name your new PDF file and click the Save button. That’s it.
