Split PDF by Bookmark for authors
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets authors and self-publishers split a PDF by bookmarks in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Splitting by bookmark divides a document at its chapter or section markers, producing one file per bookmarked section automatically.
Why authors split a PDF by bookmarks
An author merges manuscript chapters into one file, resizes the pages to the print trim size, and exports a clean, watermark-free PDF for the printer.
Built for manuscripts. Whether it's manuscripts, proofs, cover files, Arthize's split pdf by bookmark keeps the work inside your private workspace. Unpublished manuscripts are valuable IP; private processing keeps them off public servers.
What matters when you split a PDF by bookmarks
Splitting by bookmark uses the document's own structure to define the cuts.
It saves counting page ranges for chaptered documents.
Each section becomes its own file.
