VeryPDF Advanced PDF Page Cut

Of all types of documents, PDF files are preferred for their security options, and difficult editing, so that not everyone can modify content so easily. There are tons of dedicated applications to manipulate PDF files, and with VeryPDF Advanced PDF Page Cut you can chop pages into multiple parts.

With the main window up, accommodation only takes a little while, thanks to the intuitive, overall design. Needless to say that in order to get started, you need to load a PDF document, and this can either be done through the built-in browse dialog, or dragging it over the main window. Batch processing is not supported, so you can only work on one file at a time.

A side navigation panel shows thumbnails of all pages. Selecting one enlarges it in the rest of the space, with simple navigation controls, and possibility to zoom in for close inspection. What’s missing here is the option to enable rulers to carefully position cutting lines, so you have to be extra careful when setting them up.

Cutting a page is done by placing vertical, and horizontal lines over a page, with numerical values clearly stating the number of parts, and how these are exported in the end. You can either take the time to manage pages individually, or create a grid of custom number of horizontal, and vertical lines.

Luckily, it’s possible to apply a single pattern to all pages, or on enlisted pages. Lines can easily be removed, repositioned, or fixed at a custom percentage from the edge, or line in its vicinity. Unfortunately, saving is limited to a single output file, with new pages based on the cutting pattern you created. It would have been useful to see an option to export a selection of parts, or each as a different file.

Bottom line is that PDF documents require specialized tools to be edited. VeryPDF Advanced PDF Page Cut helps you create more pages out of a single one, with the setup of grid lines being incredibly easy. Although you can’t save each part to a separate file, the application manages to live up to expectations overall, and is definitely worth a try.
