Select an option from the Select split method dropdown menu to determine the method used to split documents:

Change the physical size of the pages adjusts the size of pages in order to split them.

Redefine the visible area (crop box) of the pages adjusts the crop box of pages. Further information about crop boxes is available here. When this option is used the Preserve original content box is available. If this option is enabled then the visible page area will be reduced, but the cropped content will remain available and be present if, for example, pages are resized subsequently.

The Page Range settings are as follows:

Select All to split all the pages of the document.

The Current Page and Selected Pages options are not currently available. They will be available in a future build.

Use the Pages box to determine specific pages of the document to be split. Further information on the specification of page ranges is available here. Use the Subset option to select All Pages, Odd Pages Only or Even Pages Only for page ranges specified in the Pages number box.
