How to Split a PDF on iPhone
On iPhone, open the PDF in the Files app, tap Share > Print, select your page range, and pinch-out (or tap Share in the print preview) to save just those pages as a new PDF, or use the Split PDF workbench below.

Where the Built-In iPhone Method Falls Short
- The iOS Print range sheet forces every page onto standard US Letter or A4 paper margins, which can shrink or crop non-standard slide decks.
- You cannot burst a multi-page PDF into separate single-page files at once in the iOS Files app.
