If you need to split a PDF document by page but don’t have Adobe Acrobat, Google Chrome can come to the rescue. While Adobe Acrobat is a powerful tool for handling PDF files, you can achieve the same result with Chrome’s built-in features.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to split a PDF document by page using Google Chrome:
- Open your PDF file in Google Chrome: Drag and drop the PDF file into a new Chrome tab. If Chrome is set as your default PDF viewer, double-clicking the file should open it in the browser.
- View the Print Dialog: Press Ctrl + P on your keyboard to open the Print dialog box. This will allow you to print the PDF file.
- Change Destination to Save as PDF: In the Print dialog box, look for the Destination setting. Click on Change, and select Save as PDF from the options.
- Choose Pages to Split: Under the Pages section, you can specify the range of pages you want to split from the document. For example, entering ‘1-3, 5, 10-15’ will split pages 1 to 3, 5, and 10 to 15.
- Save the Split PDF: Click on Save to save the selected pages as a new PDF file.
By following these simple steps, you can easily split a PDF document by page without the need for Adobe Acrobat. Google Chrome’s built-in PDF viewer and printing options provide a convenient alternative for basic PDF manipulation tasks.
