How to turn one PDF file with 10 pages in it into 10 files with one page in them

This is an aide-memoire post for me really but I hope you find it useful too. If you're on a Mac I think you can do this easily-peasily with the Preview tool but I'm currently on a PC at work and this is a method I've found that works.

How to Split a PDF Document by Page Without Adobe Acrobat, Using Google Chrome

It's an excellent and clear article on WikiHow with pictures and the instructions work perfectly - you need to use Google Chrome for this one obviously but I'm sure there are other options available.

    Yes, on a Mac you can open the PDF in Preview, and simply drag the thumbnails of the pages out of the sidebar into a folder. Each will become a one-page PDF. I sometimes do this to pull pages into Evernote as well.

      Goodness that's clever, I really need to learn how to use my Mac. It's still a source of bafflment to me ;)

Comment policy: I enthusiastically welcome corrections and I entertain polite disagreement ;) Because of the nature of this blog it attracts a LOT - 5 a day at the moment - of spam comments (I write about spam practices,misleading marketing and unevidenced quackery) and so I'm more likely to post a pasted version of your comment, removing any hyperlinks.

Comments written in ALL CAPS LOCK will be deleted and I won't publish any pro-homeopathy comments, that ship has sailed I'm afraid (it's nonsense).
