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.

To split a PDF manually on Windows you can do it by opening the file in Adobe Acrobat, selecting the “Organize Pages” option and then extracting or splitting the pages as needed. However, this can be time-consuming if your file is large and you have multiple PDFs. A more reliable option is Softaken Split PDF which is designed to split large PDF documents quickly without losing formatting and quality. With this tool you can split PDF by pages. It is user-friendly, works without Adobe Acrobat and saves a lot of manual effort especially for bulk files.
