It's time for one of those posts that will further reduce your need to download extra softwares or rely on online converters to get something done because you had the necessary equipment in your computer all along. This post shows you how to split PDFs with Google Chrome.
Okay, I know that Google Chrome is a third party software that does not come with your PC, but when you are talking about the most used web browser in the entire world, it is only normal to expect that you to have it installed.
PDF is one of the most popular file formats in the world, thanks to Adobe and Amazon, and there is a multitude of situations in which you will need to split such files. Huge 800-page books rendering at snail's pace in lower-end smartphones? Ripping off a section for showcasing online? Your problems have been solved. Thank the folks at Google for making such a nice web browser and read on.
The first step, is to open the PDF file in question in Google Chrome (Duh..)
Oh, and open it in the default Chrome PDF Viewer. If you have an alternate PDF viewer plugin installed, disable it by typing in "chrome://plugins/" in the omnibox and disabling every PDF viewer other than Chrome PDF Viewer.
It should look like this:

Then click the print button or hit 'Ctrl+P' on your keyboard.

In the resulting box that pops up, set the destination to 'Save as PDF' and specify the pages that you want to split. Click the save button and specify the location you want to save the file, and you are done!
Hope that helped! Cheers!
