New Here ,
May 01, 2025 May 01, 2025

Hello All

 

I am trying to split a single pdf  file into 2 separate pdf files.

 

But when I follow instructions (Split option) I get an error that

"File already has 2 pages or fewer"

 

and nothing happens

 

Thanks

You have a two-page document and are trying to split it into every two pages. Change the number of pages to 1 to split at every page.

Please show a screenshot of the choices you made when you use Split. For example, are you choosing to split at every page or every two pages or at bookmarks?

If you are struggling to split a PDF into separate files I suggest trying Softaken Split PDF. I’ve used it personally and it works smoothly for dividing large and complex PDF documents into smaller, more manageable parts. It lets you split PDFs by pages. It is lightweight, user-friendly and does not require advanced technical skills. I found it helpful when I needed to separate chapters from a big eBook. If your current method isn’t working this software could save you time and effort. Definitely worth giving a try.
