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.
This page documents the MCP tool findutils:pdf_split. See the REST reference →
This tool fetches a fixed, hard-coded public upstream — never a private host. Results depend on that upstream.
