If you want to split a PDF manually, here’s how you can do it using built-in features on Mac:

On Mac:
Open the PDF in Preview.
Go to the sidebar and select the pages you want to extract.
Drag the selected pages to your desktop — they’ll save as a new PDF.
Repeat as needed to create multiple smaller PDFs.

The manual method can be complicated and risky; there is a chance of losing data, and it is hard for non-technical users.
A better and safer option is to use an automated tool like MacSonik PDF Manager. The software is top-notch, which can easily split your large file into smaller PDF documents.
