    Hello,

    I have been strugaling with this for over an hour. I was able to reduce the file size to about 73 megs. However when I try to go to TOOLS then to PAGES that option does not show up under tools or anyware. Not sure what to do as I need to send this file today.

    Thank you for your help in advance!

    Hey fer.mor.oli.med,

    Firstly, you need to have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer if you want to split a PDF file.

    You might open Acrobat and choose "Tools> Pages> Split Document"

    But, since it is a 400 MB file, you will first need to reduce its size through File> Save as Other> Optimized PDF and then use split it into multiple files.

    Try the same way and let me know if you need further assistance.

    Regards,

    Anubha
