Split scanned booklet PDF pages
Turn a PDF scan containing two document pages on each sheet side into one page per PDF page. Reading-order mode simply separates left and right halves. Booklet mode reverses the page order used for a folded booklet. The CSV page map shows the source sheet side and half for every output page. Content stays in PDF form without rasterizing it.
How to use this tool
- Upload a two-page-per-sheet PDF or import a direct public PDF URL. Try the sample scanned booklet.
- Choose ordinary reading order or folded booklet print order and the reading direction. In booklet mode, enter the original page count to remove padded blanks.
- Create the split PDF, then inspect the first and last pages and the CSV page map before printing or sharing.

Output and limitations
Split two-page PDF scans into individual pages. Restore normal reading order or undo booklet imposition, then download the reordered PDF and page map.
One unencrypted PDF up to 20 MB and 150 two-page sheet sides. Each sheet is split exactly in half. Booklet mode expects front, back, front, back order from a single nested booklet. Set the original page count to omit padded blanks; leave it at zero to keep all halves. Use flattened, unrotated pages without forms or annotations. Bookmarks and attachments are not copied.
How do I choose the correct page arrangement?
Choose reading order when sheet 1 contains pages 1 and 2. Choose folded booklet order when sheet 1 places the last page beside page 1. The source must list each physical sheet front then back. Check the page map and first few pages before sharing the result.
Can this recover text from an image-only scan?
No. The tool divides each PDF page into two pages and keeps existing content. Use OCR separately if you need searchable text. It cannot automatically detect an off-center fold or uneven gutters.
What if processing fails?
Check the supported formats and file limits, then try a smaller file. Keep an original copy. A clear error message will explain an unsupported input or an unavailable processing service.
