Splitting A PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader 2017

New Here ,
Jul 24, 2018 Jul 24, 2018

Hi everyone!

So on my work computer (windows), I have Adobe Acrobat Reader. My boss needs me to split some PDF's into individual documents. I thought this would be simple but I cannot find the proper way to do it. Even my makeshift attempts using Paint did not work.

I tried using the Adobe help that is found at this link:

Split a document |

The issue is that the options that are available to me are drastically less than are listed in the above tutorial.

(also the more tools button only adds stamp, measure, and certificates)

How can I split PDF documents with the above options available to me?

Thank you for your help!

On that link the page is called "Learn how to split up large PDFs quickly with Acrobat DC." What it's important to know is that Acrobat is something you pay for. Acrobat Reader is free, and is not Acrobat. You can't do this with the free software.

Okay well is there any way to split PDF's in the free software? Bottom line is I still need to split the pages into individual PDFs.

You got the answer already. No, the free product doesn't provide that level of PDF manipulation capabilities.

As already answered, no. If your boss wants you to do it they need to invest in giving you the tools that are capable of doing it.

Adobe Acrobat Reader is not such a tool.
