# How to Split a PDF by Page Range
Extracting a page range is useful when a large document contains a smaller section that needs to be shared or submitted separately.
## Steps
1. Open PDFilio's Split PDF tool.
2. Upload the PDF.
3. Select the page range or splitting option supported by the tool.
4. Start processing.
5. Open the resulting PDF and verify the first and last page of the extracted section.
## Avoid page-number mistakes
PDF viewers can display printed page numbers that differ from the PDF's actual page index. Confirm the page positions before processing an important document.
