Tool-specific FAQ

What does the Every page option create?

Every page becomes a separate generated PDF; one generated output remains a PDF, while multiple generated PDFs are packaged as a ZIP.

Can selected pages stay together in one PDF?

Yes. Selected pages are combined into one output PDF in their original document order.

Does splitting a scanned PDF recognise its text?

No. Splitting copies the chosen pages into new PDFs without OCR or text recognition.
