How to Split PDF by page in Preview

4.9 out of 5

In the Preview app in Mac OS Mojave its easy to be able to split PDFs into a separate document and also to merge PDFs into one document. So, lets take a look at a sample PDF that has four pages in it. If you dont see the left sidebar here, click here and instead of having Hide Sidebar choose Thumbnails. Now you can see theres four pages here and you can click on anyone to view the page. So lets say we want to split this into two separate PDFs. One with the first two pages and one with the second two pages. There are a lot of different ways to do this. For instance, we can simply delete the pages out of this. So I can grab the third page and hold the Command key and grab the fourth page. Hit the Delete key and now I have a document with the first two pages. So that would work in some cases. Go into Command Z to Undo that. I could also do the same first thing with the first two pages, Command click each one of those, and hit Delete and now the third and fourth pages are the two page
