Break a document into single pages, or pull out only the range you need.
Splitting solves two problems. Sometimes you need every page as its own file, because the system on the other end accepts one document at a time. Sometimes you only want pages four to nine of a forty-page contract, and sending the whole thing would share more than you intend.
Splitting into single pages produces a ZIP with one numbered PDF per page. Extracting a range produces one PDF holding exactly the pages you listed.
It's also unaffected by a weak signal: splitting a forty-page file into single pages doesn't send that file anywhere first, so it finishes at the same speed whether you're on office Wi-Fi or a train with two bars of coverage.
Commas between entries, a hyphen for a span. 1-3, 7, 10-12 keeps pages one to three, page seven, and pages ten to twelve. Numbers outside the document are ignored and duplicates are kept only once.
Separating every page produces as many files as there were pages, and browsers cannot save dozens of files at once. The ZIP keeps them together, numbered in page order.
