Split ONE PDF page down the middle into TWO new pages (Acrobat XI Pro), can it be done?

This is the procedure that I use in Acrobat DC, and it works well even though it is a bit laborious

1. Go to Organize Pages
2. Click on each page and create a copy (Ctrl+C) and immediately paste (Ctrl+V); this will create a copy of the page right next to each other
3. In the Organize Pages menu bar, click on More and select Set page boxes
4. In the Set Page Boxes popout menu, do the following:
   - under Margin Controls, adjust the Right until you only have the "left side of the page visible"
   - under Page Range, select All, and under Apply to, select Odd Pages Only
   - click OK
5. Now you will have only left side pages in the correct size for "odd pages"
6. In the Set Page Boxes popout menu, do the following:
   - under Margin Controls, adjust the Left until you only have the "right side of the page visible"
   - under Page Range, select All, and under Apply to, select Even Pages Only
   - click OK
7.  Now you will have only right side pages in the correct size for "even pages"
8. Click Close in the Organize Pages menu bar and you will have the correct "left" and "right" pages.

There is an easy way to do this In Adobe Pro

choose print

Select Adobe PDF as the printer

In Page Scaling select -> Tile Large Pages

Adjust scale, overlap etc to split the pages as you wish then press OK

Adobe will then split the pages into a new PDF.

Best thing to do is to export it as PowerPoint or Word, and edit it.

I feel you on that one, I am so irritated right now because I signed up for the 7-day trial to do exactly what you are describing thinking that was certainly an option in the "edit pdf." Nope. Nothing like it exists, how freakin utterly stupid Adobe is to not have this very **SIMPLE** and **PRACTICAL** option to include in software that is all about optimizing the use and editing of PDF's. Adobe are charging up the ass for what? And cant even include something as simple as this. What a bunch of phonies and rip off con artists. Sometimes it seems like these large tech companies, Adobe included, keep updating their programs but instead of making them easier and more optimal for use, they dumb them out and make them more ass-anine and annoying without actually giving us the options we need and screwing us out of money simultaneously. They should change their company name from Adobe to Abobo. Bobo the CLOWN!

ugh this always drives me crazy.  I like to send PDFs of scanned books (grad school life) to my kindle so I print less, but it's way too tiny if it is a full spread (2page) instead of a single page.  Of all the features on adobe acrobat, it blows my mind that this still does not exist...

Sincere thank you to those who provided scripts and alternatives, but seriously... how can adobe not have built in a feature as simple and useful as this...it can't be that hard... Does anyone know of relevant feature request pages I could upvote?

Also is there better search terminology than "split"? Because that usually yeilds results about splitting the document, not an individual page.

Heres an answer:

Recently someone gave me an PDF Ebook that was scanned from an original paper book. The person had scanned 2 pages together making 1 page (2 book pages on one page). This wouldn't work/ fit while viewing it on my kindle. Today I've been searching far and wide on how i can split 1 horizontal page into 2 separate pages. I finally found a fast and free way to do it. I uploaded my PDF Ebook to this website and it split all the pages down the center of the book and created a whole file for me to download. I hope this helps in the same situation.

Split PDF Down the Middle A3 to A4 Online

I just tried using it again... i guess the first time is free and you have to pay after that -_- . At least I got my PDF taken care of.

Just for a reference purpose for other people, you can use Adobe PDF printer to 'reprint' your document into halves. First, select the output size in Print > Properties. Then, use the "Poster Print" option to cut it down.

I've been super frustrated with that as well. I've found a great app that does that for you. Cut/Break PDF pages into pieces. [A-PDF.com] Hope this helps.

I'm using the Take a Snapshot tool and inserting the snapshot back into the file. Was using the crop tool, but this is easier.
