How to split a pdf by page range
- 1. Note the page numbers you need, from the viewer’s count.
- 2. Extract that range locally.
- 3. Open the download and count. Then compress only if the cut is still too heavy.
A range is a cut. Pages 4–6 become a new file; the rest stay out of that download. Write the numbers down before you start, because page indexes in a viewer start at 1 and people still mix that up with a printed footer that says something else. Splitting does not shrink the pictures on the pages you keep and does not remove a sentence from a page you keep. If the goal is a smaller scan, compress after the cut, or instead of it.
Split a PDF by page range stays on this device. The download is the copy you keep, and Weesize does not store a second one. Close the tab when you are finished and the bytes are gone.
