Splitting at Bookmarks vs. Splitting by Page Range

Page-range splitting requires you to know exactly which pages correspond to each section. Bookmark splitting doesn't.

When you split a PDF at its bookmarks, the tool reads the document's built-in outline - the same data your PDF reader uses to show the table of contents panel - and automatically identifies the exact page where each section begins.

This eliminates counting, guessing, and manual entry. Even a 600-page technical manual can be split into 40 correctly bounded section files in under a minute.

How Splitting at Bookmarks Works

The tool reads PDF outline entries and uses their target pages as split boundaries.

1. Upload the PDF

The tool reads the PDF outline (bookmark tree) immediately on upload.

2. Confirm Split Points

Every bookmark entry is shown with its name. Each one is a split point.

3. Receive Individual Files

Each section - from one bookmark's page to the next - is saved as a standalone PDF.

PDF bookmarks store the exact page number (and even scroll position) of each section. By splitting at these stored coordinates, iMZi PDF guarantees no content is ever cut mid-sentence or mid-page.
