tab (or the 
tab) and select the file you want to split.
2. Open the **Tools** menu and choose 
. You can also right-click the file's row and choose it there. The PDF Splitter opens.
3. Mark where the PDF should be cut. Each cut point starts a new document:
* Hover between two page thumbnails and click the scissors to add a cut point there.
* Or open **Preset** and pick a pattern — split every few pages, split at the document's top-level bookmarks, or auto-detect divider pages.
* To leave a page out of the results, hover its thumbnail and click the bin icon; click again to bring it back.
4. Check the **Output Segments** panel on the right. It lists the documents that will be created and the pages each one covers.
5. Click **Done**. BriefTech cuts the PDF and stages the new documents in the **Upload Manager**.
6. In the Upload Manager, click 
to add the new documents to the matter. If you close the Upload Manager without uploading, the split is discarded.

**What you get:** The new documents are named after the original with a numbered suffix — for example `Bundle A_split_001.pdf`, `Bundle A_split_002.pdf` — and are added as children of the original file, in the same folder. The original file is not changed or removed.
