How to split a PDF

What you'll do

Ask AshnaAI to extract pages into a new PDF. Use page numbers such as 1, 2, 5, or last. The original file stays unchanged.

This guide walks through split PDF in AshnaAI. You stay in chat. You do not need a separate desktop of buttons for each file job.

Before you start

Open AshnaAI and start a new chat.

Have your pdf file ready to attach, or use a file you already uploaded in this chat.

How to split PDF

Follow the steps below in order. Confirm in chat before AshnaAI sends, posts, or writes to Tally.

Step 1. Open chat

Sign in at https://app.ashna.ai and start a new chat.

Step 2. Attach or point at the file

Attach the source PDF.

Step 3. Ask for the job

Ask: extract pages 1-3, or everything except the last page.

Step 4. Download the result

When AshnaAI finishes, download the file from the chat. That download is your split PDF.

Keep in mind

AshnaAI does not auto-detect invoices versus contracts. You name the pages.

AshnaAI will not convert PDF to Word, PDF to Excel, or compress a PDF. Those jobs are not available. Use merge, split, unlock, protect, and the other how-tos linked below.
