Dividing PDF Documents into Individual Pages

You can divide PDF documents into individual pages.

IMPORTANT
If the original document is a PDF document with Reader Extensions, the Reader Extensions function is deleted from the document after division. If the original document is a PDF document in the PDF/A format, the PDF document will no longer conform to the PDF/A format after dividing the pages.

NOTE
The divided PDF document is stored in the same location as the original document. PDF documents in a Document Server Library or SharePoint Server Library cannot be divided unless you have edit permission or higher. You cannot divide more than one PDF document at the same time. If you divide pages in a PDF document with an attribute such as "Read-only" (Windows), the attribute will be invalidated in the PDF document after dividing the pages.
