How to Split PDF

The following steps and C# sample code illustrate splitting a PDF into multiple PDFs using DynamicPDF Core Suite for .NET.

Steps to Split a PDF

1. Create a PdfDocument object and pass the source PDF file path to the constructor.
2. Create a MergeDocument object and in the constructor pass the PdfDocument object instance, the starting page number, and ending page count.
3. Invoke the Document object's Draw method to output the PDF portion specified by the starting page number and ending page count.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3, only pass 5, and 9 to the MergeDocument constructor.
5. Invoke the Draw method, and a new PDF starting at page 5 and ending at page 12 is output to a new PDF document.

Sample Code - C#

PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument("TimeMachine.pdf");
MergeDocument part1 = new MergeDocument(pdf, 1, 4);
Part1.Draw("output-part1.pdf");
MergeDocument part2 = new MergeDocument(pdf, 5, 8);
part2.Draw("output-part2.pdf");
