Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PDF splitter secure for bank statements?
Absolutely. Bank statements contain sensitive financial information. Since PDFCraft processes everything locally, your statement data is never uploaded to any server, keeping it safe from data breaches.
Can I extract specific page ranges?
Yes. You can visually select the pages you want to keep, or enter custom page numbers and ranges to split and extract exactly what you need.
Can I split a PDF offline?
Yes. The Split PDF tool works 100% offline once the page is cached or installed on your device as a PWA.
Does splitting affect the document quality?
No. PDFCraft splits and extracts pages while preserving original text, vector graphics, fonts, and image resolutions perfectly.

Why splitting rebuilds rather than deletes

Splitting constructs a new document containing only the pages you asked for. The pages you did not select are never copied into it. This is a meaningful difference from the more obvious approach of loading the file and deleting the unwanted pages, because a PDF writer serialises every object it is still holding — a deleted page can survive in the saved bytes as an orphaned object that any low-level PDF tool can read back out.

By building the output from scratch, the content of the pages you left behind has no path into the file. If you are splitting a document to share one section of it, that distinction is the whole point.

Trade-offs when one file becomes several

  • The parts add up to more than the whole. Each output embeds its own copy of the fonts and images its pages need, so splitting a 10 MB report into ten files produces well over 10 MB.
  • Cross-references between the parts are lost. A link or a table of contents entry pointing at a page that ended up in a different output file has nowhere to go.
  • Outlines do not follow the pages. Each split file starts with no bookmark tree.
  • Page ranges are one-based and inclusive. Entering 1-3, 7 gives you pages one, two, three and seven — not pages two through four.

Choosing how to split

What is the difference between extracting pages and splitting into separate files?
Extracting produces a single new PDF containing the pages you picked, in the order they appeared. Splitting into separate files produces one PDF per selected page or range. Pick whichever matches what the recipient needs to receive.
Are the pages I did not select recoverable from the output?
No. They are never written into it. The output is assembled from the kept pages only, so there is no orphaned copy of the discarded content inside the file.
Can I split a PDF that has a password on it?
Not directly. Encrypted documents have to be decrypted before their page structure can be read, so remove the password with Unlock PDF first.
