You can use the PDFFile ExtractPages method to extract certain pages. This does provide the ability to specify a start page, end page, and source file. Here is code that you can build on: static void SplitUsingPDFFile( string inputFile, string _directory) { PDFFile pdfFile = new PDFFile(inputFile); int totalPages = pdfFile.GetPageCount(); Console.Write($ "SplitUsingPDFFile..
Total pages: {totalPages}, Splitting pages: " ); for ( int page = 1; page { Console.Write($ "{page}.. " ); string outputFileName = $ "{Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(inputFile)}_pdfFile_page{page}.pdf" ; string outputFile = Path.Combine(_directory, outputFileName); pdfFile.ExtractPages(page, page, outputFile); } Console.WriteLine(); } https://www.leadtools.com/help/sdk/v22/tutorials/dotnet-console-split-a-pdf-file-into-multiple-files.html https://www.leadtools.com/help/sdk/v22/dh/pdf/pdffile-extractpages(int,int,string).html
