Save the new PDF document.

public static void splitPdfFromBeginning(Path inputFile, Path outputFile) {
    PdfFileEditor pdfFileEditor = new PdfFileEditor();
    pdfFileEditor.splitFromFirst(inputFile.toString(), 3, outputFile.toString());

Split PDF into single pages

Use this workflow when each source page must become its own PDF file.

Steps

Create a PdfFileEditor instance.
Prepare an output file pattern that includes a page placeholder such as %NUM%.
Call splitToPages with the source file and output pattern.
Save the generated single-page files.

public static void splitPdfIntoSinglePages(Path inputFile, Path outputFilePattern) {
    PdfFileEditor pdfFileEditor = new PdfFileEditor();
    pdfFileEditor.splitToPages(inputFile.toString(), outputFilePattern.toString());
}

The Java sample extracts all pages starting from page 2.

Steps

Create a PdfFileEditor instance.

    PdfFileEditor pdfFileEditor = new PdfFileEditor();
    pdfFileEditor.splitToEnd(inputFile.toString(), 2, outputFile.toString());
}
