How PDF Split & Merge works

Split PDFs with any of 8 modes, or merge many PDFs into one file with bookmarks, in five steps. Everything runs on your own computer.

5 steps Windows desktop software Files stay on your computer

Before You Start

  • Download and install the free demo. It includes every split mode and the full merge workflow, and adds a watermark to the output.
  • Adobe Acrobat is not needed.
  • Have the password ready for any protected PDF. Unprotected files need nothing extra.

1 Step 1

Add your PDF files

Open Magic Soft PDF Split & Merge. Click Add File(s), or Add Folder(s) to pick up every PDF in a folder and its subfolders. Each file is listed with its size. Enter a password in the Password (Optional) column only for protected files.

2 Step 2

Choose Split or Merge

Under Options, select Split to divide each PDF into smaller files, or Merge to combine the list into one PDF. A merge joins the files in the order shown, so use Up and Down to set the order first. Then click Next.

3 Step 3

Set the options

For a split, pick one of the 8 modes (by page, specific pages, page groups, ranges, range groups, file size, or odd and even pages) and enter the pages or size. For a merge, leave bookmarks on to get one bookmark per source file, and turn on blank-page removal if you need it.

4 Step 4

Choose output type and folder

Select Standard PDF, PDF/A-1b or PDF/A-2b, pick the output folder and click Start.

5 Step 5

Review the result

Progress and a completion report appear automatically. Open the output folder to check the new files.

Common Questions

Do I need Adobe Acrobat?

No. PDF Split & Merge does the work itself and runs offline on Windows.

Can it handle password-protected PDFs?

Yes. Enter the password in the Password (Optional) column next to the file.

What is different in the free demo?

The demo has every split mode and the full merge workflow. It puts a watermark at 25% opacity on each output page; the full version has none.

Can I process several files in one go?

Yes. Add several files or a whole folder and they are processed as one batch.
