C# PDF document splitting library control, XDoc.PDF, provides an advanced C# programming way to split PDF document into smaller PDF files in .NET developing applications. Using this C#.NET PDF document splitting library control, C# developers can easily and accurately disassemble multi-page PDF document into two or more separate PDF document files by page(s).

RasterEdge Visual C# .NET PDF document splitter control toolkit SDK can not only offer C# developers a professional .NET solution to split PDF document file but also provide them the ability to name outputted PDF document files with a customized name pattern using a few lines of simple Visual C# code.

This C#.NET PDF document splitting library control offers developers an efficient PDF document splitting approach, using which C# developers can split target PDF document file by specifying a page or pages. If needed, developers can also combine generated split PDF document files with other PDF files to form a new PDF file using RasterEdge XDoc.PDF. Besides, in the process of splitting PDF document, developers can also remove certain PDF page from target PDF file using C#.NET PDF page deletion API.

Please note, PDF file will be divided from the previous page of your defined page number which starts from 0. For example, your original PDF file contains 4 pages. If your page number is set as 1, then the two output PDF files will contains the first page and the later three pages respectively.

How to split PDF pages to two PDF files using C# code?

The following steps and C# example source code will show how to split PDF pages to multiple PDF documents in C#.NET application.

The following C# example code will split a PDF file into 2 new PDF files.

• File 0: contains the first page of the source PDF file
• File 1: contains all remained pages

1. Define a splitted page index. Here the var splitIndex is 1. So the page index 0 (the first page of the source PDF file) will be the only page in the first new PDF file. The second new PDF file will contain all the remaining pages.
2. Create e a String array to contain the new PDF file paths
3. Call PDFDocument.SplitDocument() to split the PDF pages into two new PDF files

String inputFilePath = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "1.pdf";
String outputFileName = "Output";
int splitIndex = 1;     //  valid value: 1 to (Page Count - 1)

List<String> outputFilePaths = new List<String>();
outputFilePaths.Add(Program.RootPath + "\\" + outputFileName + "_0.pdf");
outputFilePaths.Add(Program.RootPath + "\\" + outputFileName + "_1.pdf");

//  split input file to 2 files, a file contains the first page of the input file,
//  and another file contains all remained pages.
PDFDocument.SplitDocument(inputFilePath, splitIndex, outputFilePaths.ToArray());

C#: quick to break, divide pdf document into multiple pdf files

The following steps and C# example source code will show how to split PDF pages to multiple (3) PDF files using C# code.

The following C# example code will split and divide a PDF file into 3 new PDF files.

• File 0: contains the first page and second page of the source PDF file
• File 1: contains the third page of the source PDF file
• File 2: contains all remained pages

1. Define a Integer array (pageIndexes) to hold the new splitted PDF files page index
2. Create e a String array to contain the new PDF file paths
3. Call PDFDocument.SplitDocument() to split the PDF pages into two new PDF files

        #region quick to split pdf document into multiple pdf files
        internal static void splitPdfFile()
        {
            String inputFilePath = @"C:\source.pdf";
            //Page indexes to devide pdf document
            int[] pageIndexes = new int[] { 2, 3 };
            String firstFile = @"C:\part_1.pdf";
            String secondFile = @"C:\part_2.pdf";
            String thirdFile = @"C:\part_3.pdf";
            //Split input file to 3 files.
            //File 0: page 0 ~ 1
            //File 1: page 2
            //File 2: page 3 ~
            String[] outputFiles = new String[] { firstFile, secondFile, thirdFile };
            PDFDocument.SplitDocument(inputFilePath, pageIndexes, outputFiles);
        }

2. Create a new SplitOutputOptions object. Here you will set the new PDF files names pattern
3. Call PDFDocument.SplitDocument() to split the PDF pages with options

        #region Split PDF document by number of pages
        internal static void splitPdfFileByPageNumber()

2. Create a new SplitOutputOptions object. Here you will set the new PDF files names pattern
3. Call PDFDocument.SplitDocument() to split the PDF pages with options

        #region split pdf file by top level bookmarks
        internal static void splitPdfFileByBookmarks()
        {
            String inputFilePath = @"C:\2.pdf";
