What is Split Odd/Even Pages?
Split Odd/Even Pages separates a multi-page PDF document into two distinct files: one containing all odd-numbered pages (1, 3, 5, etc.) and one containing all even-numbered pages (2, 4, 6, etc.). Essential for manual double-sided scanning workflows where single-sided scanner trays scan the front sides of a stack first and then the back sides in a separate pass. You can easily recombine, review, or print odd and even page sets independently with full vector quality and text preservation.
