How to use the split feature in Nitro PDF Pro
Nitro PDF Pro™ makes splitting a PDF file into individual pages super simple and gives you advanced tools to copy pages from existing PDFs and reuse them to assemble new files.

Just follow these steps:
1. Open your document in Nitro PDF Pro.
2. Navigate to the Page Layout tab, and select Split. (If you haven’t already saved changes to the file, Nitro will ask you to save it first.)
3. Once a new window opens for Split Pages, you can change the Splitting Method, General Settings, and Output Destination.
4. After selecting your settings, select “Split” to run the tool.
