Tips & Best Practices

• Use visual selector: The visual page selector makes it easier to identify and select the exact pages you want to split.
• Preview before splitting: Review the page thumbnails carefully before initiating the split to ensure you have the right selection.
• Use interval mode for uniform splits: When dividing a document into equal parts, the interval mode is faster than manually entering ranges.
