# Split PDF for government offices

_Updated July 2026 · Arthize · https://arthize.com/for/government/split-pdf_

Arthize lets public-sector teams split a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Splitting a PDF breaks one document into the pieces you need — by page range, by fixed interval, or one file per page — with no quality loss.

## Why government offices split a PDF

A records officer redacts personal identifiers from a document before a public-records release, converts it to PDF/A for the archive, and merges the case file into a single record.

**Built for case files.** Whether it's case files, public records, forms, Arthize's split pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Public records contain personal data that must be redacted before release, and files must be handled on trusted infrastructure.

## What matters when you split a PDF

Splitting is lossless because each output keeps the original page objects.

You can extract just a few pages into a new file while leaving the original untouched.

One-file-per-page mode bursts a document into individual pages in a single pass.

## How to split a PDF

1. **Open the split tool** — Sign in and open the Split tool in your workspace.
2. **Add your PDF** — Upload the document you want to divide; it is processed privately.
3. **Choose how to split** — Pick page ranges (1-3, 4-8), a fixed interval (every N pages), or one file per page.
4. **Download the pieces** — Split and download; each output keeps its original pages unchanged.
