Question 1

How do I write a page range?

Accepted Answer

Use commas to separate output files and dashes for ranges — e.g. "1-3,4,5-8" creates 3 separate PDFs: pages 1-3, page 4 alone, and pages 5-8.

Question 2

Can I extract a single page?

Accepted Answer

Yes — just enter that page number on its own, e.g. "4", and you'll get a one-page PDF.

Question 3

What happens if I enter an invalid page number?

Accepted Answer

You'll get a clear error telling you exactly which range is invalid and how many pages the document actually has, instead of a silent failure.

Question 4

Does splitting affect PDF quality?

Accepted Answer

No — pages are copied exactly as-is with no re-encoding, so quality is identical to the original.

Question 5

Is my file uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib library — your file never leaves your device.
