STEP 01 / 04

STEP 02 / 04

Set pages per file

Enter a positive whole number in Pages per file. The app shows how many files will be generated. With a three-page PDF, entering 1 creates three single-page files; entering 2 creates a two-page file and a final one-page file.

A three-page PDF is set to one page per file, producing three files. Click to enlarge.

Tap Save to a folder. Choose the destination in Android’s folder picker and confirm access if asked. Wait until the operation completes.

STEP 04 / 04

Check every output file

Open the output folder and inspect the generated PDFs. Check that the page groups cover the source document without missing any pages. Rename the files if that makes their contents easier to identify.

The View list contains the three generated PDFs. Tap a file to inspect its pages. Click to enlarge.

Tips for a better result

Use 1 page per file when every page needs its own PDF.
Use Extract Pages for selected pages rather than equal-size groups.
