Split PDF
Keep some pages, drop some pages, or put them in a different order. Write the pages the way you would say them — 1-3, 5, 8- — and for reordering, the order you write is the order you get.

The original is not touched. This writes a new file and hands it to you; the PDF you chose is still on your device exactly as it was. Nothing here can destroy the only copy of something.
Form fields, bookmarks and signatures do not carry across, for the same reason they do not survive a merge — the pages are copied into a new document, and those things belong to the old one.
Three jobs, one page, because they are the same operation
Keeping pages, removing pages and reordering them are all "build a new document from these pages, in this order". Splitting them across three pages would have meant three copies of one engine and three places for the page-range parser to disagree with itself.
The difference is only what the list means. Keep takes the pages you name. Remove takes everything you did not name. Reordertakes the pages in the order you wrote them — which is why 3, 1, 2 is a different document from 1, 2, 3, and why the other two modes quietly sort and de-duplicate while this one does not.
Writing a range
1-3pages 1, 2 and 35just page 58-page 8 to the end, whatever the end is1-3, 5, 8-all of the above, combinedallevery page — useful with Remove, to see what happens
A page number outside the document is an error rather than a silent skip. Asking for page 40 of a 12-page file is a mistake worth being told about, not a request to be quietly ignored.
Splitting one file into many
This page produces one file at a time, on purpose. Exporting every page as a separate PDF means either a zip — another library, another megabyte — or thirty simultaneous downloads, which browsers block and people hate. Extracting the range you actually want is one step and no cleanup.

Common questions
- Is this Split and reorder PDF pages page free to use?
- Yes. Every Kaamko tool is free, with no sign-up, no account and no usage limit. They are published by Imperial College of Engineering, a Tribhuvan University-affiliated engineering college in Tathali, Bhaktapur, and are not funded by advertising.
- Does what I type get sent anywhere?
- No. This tool runs entirely in your browser: the calculation happens on your own device, nothing you type is uploaded, and nothing is stored after you close the page.
- Where do the figures come from?
- Each tool names its source on the page, along with the date that source was read. Where a rate or a slab is provisional — announced in a budget speech but not yet gazetted, for instance — the page says so rather than presenting it as settled.
- Who maintains these tools?
- Imperial College of Engineering, formerly Janakpur Engineering College, in Tathali, Bhaktapur, Nepal. Corrections are welcome by phone on 01-5091616 or through the contact page, and a figure reported as wrong is checked against its published source rather than adjusted on request.
Last checked by Imperial College of Engineering. Rates, slabs and formulas are re-checked against their published source on this date.
