Split a PDF into one file per page

Use jetformat pdf split to split a PDF into one file per page.

By Jetformat

Each output file contains one page. Use pdf extract when the deliverable should instead be a single multipage chapter.

Steps

  1. Start with a local PDF. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat pdf split book.pdf -o book-parts

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--output Output directory; defaults to <filename>-parts

Check the result

Compare the number of output PDFs with the source page count and inspect the first and last outputs.

Notes and limits

This operation uses page-based credits. Review the billing guide before processing a large document.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat pdf split --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the pdf command reference for the surrounding workflow.
