Split PDF handouts into individual slides
Choose a grid, review every cut and turn multi-slide handouts into readable PDF pages with optional note space.
PDF up to 25 MiB / 100 source pages. Up to 600 selected grid cells, 64 MiB output; each local job stops after 60 seconds. Passwords, interactive forms, signatures and nonstandard UserUnit scales are unsupported.
Embedded images: unfiltered/Flate pixels or checked JPEG, up to 8,192 px per side. Inline images, JPEG 2000, JBIG2, CCITT and unusual JPEG variants are unsupported.
The example contains ten fully occupied 6-up pages: the default settings produce 60 slides. This creates a PDF, not a PowerPoint file.
How to use it
- Choose a PDF or the synthetic ten-page example.
- Set the grid, source-page order, margins, gaps and rotation. Preview cut lines on each selected source page.
- Explicitly uncheck any empty cells and choose optional note space to the right or below.
- Create the PDF, inspect its rendered first page and download the verified export.
Ten completely occupied six-slide pages produce 60 correctly ordered PDF slides with the default settings. Explicit exclusions, column-first reading and note areas can be tested separately.

Does cropping permanently remove neighboring content?
No. Vector clipping preserves available graphics and selectable text, but hidden neighboring content may remain in PDF objects. It is not secure redaction or PowerPoint recovery. Interactive annotations, links and bookmarks are not transferred.
