Overview

The PDF Splitting API by GuGuData is designed to split large PDF files into smaller documents based on a defined page size.

Key highlights:

• Page-based splitting – Define page_size to create multiple smaller PDFs.
• Optional ZIP output – Bundle all split files into a single compressed archive.
• Secure & scalable – HTTPS connections and cloud-based architecture for fast processing.
• RESTful interface – JSON-based responses for easy integration and automation.
