When and how to use Split By Bookmark

Split By Bookmark is best when one PDF needs to become smaller, cleaner files by range, page, section, or bookmark.

If this run affects client delivery, approval, or archive quality, validate the output once before you share it. The related how-to and use-case pages below cover the most common real-world edge cases.

Best practices

  • Validate ranges and output mode on a short sample first so you do not create dozens of unintended files.
  • Use balanced defaults first, then increase processing strength only when required.
  • Validate output readability on both desktop and mobile before sharing.

Common issues

  • Wrong range syntax or the wrong output mode can create missing sections or far too many result files.
  • Range syntax errors can skip required pages.
  • Large scans can remain heavy until OCR and cleanup are combined.
