To break a 250MB PDF file, I used your tool and it worked perfectly without any data loss. No hurdles are faced with this application while I was performing the splitting task. I am impressed with the fast working of the utility.

I mostly use manual methods to split my large PDF documents and it took a lot of time. I heard a lot about your tool but never got practical experience with it. Last week, I utilized it and divide a 100 MB PDF file according to pages. It is really a smooth product. I can trust it and will use it for my future works. It makes me surprise.
