Pdf Split API

Network tool

POST https://api.findutils.com/api/tools/pdf-split/execute

Take a selection of pages out of a PDF into a new one. Pages are given as 1-based numbers and ranges, such as "1,3,5-8", and come out in the order written. Input and output are base64-encoded PDFs. Pages are copied as they are — nothing is re-rendered or re-encoded.
