Splitting Tips
- 💡Preview first: Check PDF before splitting to confirm exact page numbers needed
- 💡Pages start at 1: First page is page 1, not 0
- 💡Flexible combinations: Mix single pages and ranges, e.g., 1,3-5,8,10-12
- 💡Original file preserved: Splitting doesn't modify original PDF, file remains intact
