Intro
PDF splitters are useful tools that let people create new PDF files from the pieces of other files or reduce the size of oversized files. Merging and splitting PDF files have several uses and advantages. Users can merge many different files to create a more complete and comprehensive document without having to edit, print, or create new copies. Splitting a PDF file makes it more concise and relevant, while also cutting down on the time and effort it often took to compile a hard copy document from several other texts. There are many tools available to achieve both ends and these are some of the most popular and easy-to-use PDF splitters.
Lumin PDF
Lumin PDF is an online PDF editing program that gives users a multitude of different tools to better manage their PDF files. The program is also available for download so users can continue to work on their files offline. Lumin has a browser-based interface that many users will find easy to navigate once they have downloaded it.
Unlike other programs, Lumin PDF users have to look for the Page Tools icon to open the merging, splitting, and combining features. Clicking on the Page Tools icon opens a drop-down menu for users to choose their specific function. If they select Merge, users will be prompted to enter the pages they want to be merged. Once selected, they can click Merge and the file will be created.
Combine PDF
Combine PDF is a popular PDF merging tool thanks to its ease-of-use and no-frills interface. The site has a simple drag and drop function to let users easily upload their files.
