Why split PDF into parts in Python?

Splitting PDF document into parts allows you to work on parts of a document independently. Install Python library to split PDF files programmatically. Add a library reference (import the library) to your Python project. Open the PDF in Python. Call the 'extract_pages()' method to extract specific pages from PDF. Get the result of PDF splitting as separate files.

In what file formats can I save extracted PDF pages?

You can split the source PDF file into parts and save them to a wide variety of file formats: DOCX, PDF, ODT, DOC, HTML, RTF, Markdown,WPS, TXT and many more.

What is the maximum PDF file size supported by this Python via .NET library?

There are no size limits to split PDF files using this Python via .NET library.

Split PDF Into Parts Python

Split PDF in Python

This software library provides Python developers with a set of functions to split PDF files into parts. Splitting a PDF into separate files can be used to make it easier to work with sections of a document in parallel. For example, if several people are working on one PDF at the same time, splitting PDF will allow them to speed up the work. The PDF splitting may be part of a technology for extracting text from PDF files and integrating data into automated information systems or databases.

Our library provides Python developers with all the necessary functions to split PDF into parts and extract pages according to the specified mode. This is a stand-alone Python via .NET solution that does not need Microsoft Word, Acrobat Reader or other applications installed.

Split PDF document into parts using Python

Split PDF content using different criteria in Python code. You can use the following page extraction modes for PDF documents: 'split by headings', 'split by sections', 'split page by page', 'split by page ranges'.

After splitting your PDF file into parts, you can export the result to the required file format using the 'Document.Save' method. You can also control how the PDF parts are exported to HTML or EPUB using the 'DocumentPartSavingCallback' property, which will allow you to redirect output streams.

Split PDF documents easily with our solution for Python via .NET. The following example shows how to split a PDF using Python:
