3. Exclude Pages

If you want to exclude some pages from splitting, just click on the “More Options” and input the pages you want to exclude.
You can re-order the page numbers if they are not properly arranged by ticking the box for “Re-paginate from booklets scan”
If the document is in Arabic, Hebrew or in a format where the format is from right to left, then select or tick the box for “Right to left document” to turn it into a standard format when you get the result.

4. Download the Document

After making sure everything is ready, click the “SPLIT at the bottom of the screen and "Download” after processing to save it on your computer. You may also save it in your online storage such as Dropbox or Google Drive, share it via email, print the new document, rename or even continue editing with a new task.
