Save multipage PDF into separate pages as PDF files

I found a much faster drag and drop option that allows you to split up a pdf document, by dragging a page or multiple pages into any folder you want... so much faster!

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9:

-Go to View--> Navigation Panels--> Show Navigation Pane (The navigation pane should pop up on the left hand side, and shows small tiles of each page in your pdf).

-Now select the Hand Tool (it looks like a white glove)- located in the menu at the top (if you don't see it, go to View--> Toolbars--> Select and Zoom and it should appear in the toolbars at the top).

-With the Hand Tool activated you can grab a page from the navigation panel and drop it into any folder or onto your desktop; to grab more than one page, click in the grey area surrounding the small tiles and you can drag over more than one, also try using the shift key to highlight pages that aren't side by side.

Hope this helps!

PS: You can do this on a mac computer without using Adobe; its a built in feature of the document preview software that comes on macs.

Using Acrobat 10, simply click View > Tools > Pages > Extract to quickly produce the single page files you need.

I don't have Acrobat,too. I don't think it is convenient enough to split PDF pages, see you have to find the page you need then extract it repetitively one by one. To split PDF into single page, I think there is also a better program. A smart PDF splitter will take you out of painstaking manually splitting.

It will do the rest for you automatically.

I was able to accomplish this using a free online service called www.splitpdf.net.  You simply upload the file and tell it which page you want extracted.  It then returns a pdf containing only the page you selected.  Unfortunately, you have to repeat this step for each page you need to extract but it's an easy process.

I am on Reader 9.3 and I don't see pages or extract pages under documents.  Is it because we only have Adobe Reader and nothing else?

AWESOME!!!! This thread was exactly what I needed. I split a single 8 page pdf into 8 separate pages.

Well done!

I have Acrobat 9. When I click on the ‘Document’ option in the toolbar, I click on ‘Extract Pages’. It then asks me to specify what pages I want to extract and gives me 2 check box options. The first asks if I want to delete the pages after I extract and the second gives me the option to extract each page to an individual file.

Hope this is helpful to someone... :o)
