HOW TO
Drop it here, or choose it from your computer, your phone or My files.
Odd keeps pages 1, 3, 5. Even keeps pages 2, 4, 6. The kept pages light up.
You get a new PDF with only those pages. The original isn’t changed.
GOOD TO KNOW
Splitting a file this way helps when a printer or scanner only handles one side.
| JOB | WHAT TO DO | THEN |
|---|---|---|
| Print double-sided by hand | Print the odd pages, flip the stack, then print the even pages | Check which way your printer feeds paper first |
| Separate fronts from backs | Keep the odd pages for fronts and the even pages for backs | Interleave PDFs puts them back together |
| Drop blank backs from a scan | Keep the odd pages | Only if every back page is blank |
A PDF with an odd number of pages has one more odd page than even.
