To download a PDF separately, effectively splitting it into individual files, you can use a PDF editing software like Adobe Acrobat. Here's how:
Steps to Split a PDF into Separate Files Using Adobe Acrobat
-
Open the PDF: Launch Adobe Acrobat and open the PDF document you want to split.
-
Access the "Organize Pages" Tool: Navigate to the "Tools" tab and select "Organize Pages." If you don't see it, you might need to search for it in the "All tools" list.
-
Select "Split": Within the "Organize Pages" toolbar, choose the "Split" option.
-
Configure Splitting Options: Acrobat provides several ways to split your PDF. You can choose to:
- Split by Number of Pages: Specify the number of pages you want in each resulting PDF file (e.g., every 1 page for single-page PDFs).
- Split by File Size: Split the PDF into files of a specific size.
- Split by Top-level Bookmarks: (If your PDF has bookmarks) Split the PDF based on the top-level bookmarks.
-
Output Options: Click "Output Options" to customize where the split files are saved and how they are named. You can choose a specific folder and set up a naming convention (e.g., adding a suffix or prefix to the original filename).
-
Split the PDF: Click "OK" in the "Output Options" window, and then click the "Split" button to begin the splitting process. Acrobat will create the individual PDF files according to your specifications.
Alternative Methods
While Adobe Acrobat is a common solution, other PDF editors and online tools offer similar splitting functionality. Search online for "split PDF" to find free or paid alternatives. Keep in mind that using online tools involves uploading your PDF, so be mindful of security and privacy, especially with sensitive documents.
