This program has a lot of uses. For example, I don't need a copy of an equipment manual in 12 different languages taking up 200MB of disc space when I only need it in one language that will use <20MB. This program would be very useful to me except for the fact that the free version leaves an extremely annoying watermark, advertising itself, on every split page, rendering the resultant file totally useless if I need a "professional" looking copy.

I volunteer for an international non-profit that publishes A LOT of manuals. Often the manuals are hundreds of pages. As an instructor, it is easy to supply students only the pertinent class material by using this pdf splitter. It is easy to use and fast. I have used the watermark version. Thanks to GOTD and Wonderfulshare for a watermark free version.

What's the point in this product?
Just print the pages you want on a PDF printer such as "Microsoft Print to PDF", and this will result in a PDF file with only this portion.

I used a scrolling screen capture program to capture this entire GOTD page as a PDF, hoping that PDF Split Pro would be able to chop it up. It doesn't. The PDF you use must already contain pages.

Searching my storage drive for all PDF files, many of my PDFs over 20MB in size are tech manuals and catalogs. Two are over 100MB in size. There are servers and email providers that limit the size of what can be sent over the internet. Being able to chop them up into smaller pieces would be most helpful.

Probably the most useful feature is "Split by specific page ranges to multiple PDF files. (Example 1-4,5,6,8,12,17-19)". PDF Split Pro allows you to chop up and extract only those pages you intend to use. Doing this manually would be tedious and time consuming.

Negative: Most PDF books contain a table of contents page with links that can jump you to specific chapters. This feature will be lost. The links will no longer work.

I won't be using PDF Split Pro everyday, but I have enough of a need for it that it's worth keeping.

The D/l went well. I got the key but it shows as invalid.

split@gmail.com did not work.

Where the last page contains nothing but a header it might be useful to shear it off, but I get around that by printing it with my PDF printer and nominating all pages but the last, so this one's usefulness would even be dubious for that.

Similarly, if the PDF was too big to email, you could use this, but reprinting (in several chunks) as in my first paragraph overcomes that as well. Moreover, there are free online programs that will reduce the size of a PDF anyway.

Again, if only several pages are wanted, reprinting and nominating those pages fixes that.

Overall, at the moment I can't think of a use for this program either.

I have a use, I'm trying to extract a page of my income tax pdf, sign it, scan it, and reinsert it.

Splitting a pdf is useful if you wish to extract certain useful pages from the original file and send those limited pages to someone.

I think this will be very useful software. Sometimes I end up with unwanted extra pages when I print to a PDF file. This software allows me to get rid of them. Download and installation was easy. How to register wasn't clear but I accomplished that by selecting the "upgrade button" in the software and entering the registration email and key provided in the unzipped readme file.

Thanks for this give away of the day. I also use the very nice Wonderfulshare PDF merge which was a previous giveaway of the day.

Useful for splitting parts out of downloaded manuals: remove the foreign language sections, removing a pertinent section to email when giving support. Can remove extra pages after you printed to PDF.

I could not install program at all. After running setup, shows small screen with information: successfully activated, but program is not installed.

I'm amending my previous comment about the watermark. I received a reply, and figured out that I had to put split.com in the e-mail field.
I have a very large PDF file that I had been having trouble e-mailing, because of the file size, but this software works great for splitting the file, and allowing me to e-mail it in sections.

I'm not certain if I'd have a lot of use for this program as for me a pdf file is useful in keeping everything together as one file.
If the pdf file was too big to fit in a certain space (memory stick) then slitting it would be useful but most pdf files are not very large.

Maybe someone else can think of a better use for this program.
