Splitting a PDF into pages

Splitting a PDF into pages will allow you to break the document down into multiple pages using the PDF.API.

The splitNumber parameter dictates how many pages per PDF document you desire.

Example 1

If you supply a PDF document that has 5 pages and the splitNumber parameter = 2, the output will be 3 documents in total:

• the first document with 2 pages
• another document with 2 pages
• the final document with 1 page

Example 2

If you supply a PDF with 5 pages and the splitNumber = 1, the output will be 5 documents each containing 1 page.

The important thing to remember is that splitting keeps the original order of the document.
