I have a pdf that contains 2 pages on one virtual sheet.

How can I convert this pdf to single pages?

convert to Word? Jul 24, 2024

I don't know any clever ways to do it. I'd probably convert it to Word and edit/format it there before converting it back to pdf (if that's the format you need).

Cropping Jul 24, 2024

I'd divide it by using the crop tool: crop away second page, save as new file, go back, crop away first page, save as new file.

Then, if needed, join both new files to a new, single pdf.

Yes, after posting my question I had the same idea. I will use PDF Expert (Mac) for this task. I can duplicate each page (copy, paste) before I start cropping.

A lot of work though ...

Edit: Surprisingly, cropping was very easy in PDF Expert. I was able to crop all the pages in one go. Great software!

Preview.app does it out of the box Jul 24, 2024

Except that it doesn't crop multiple pages at once.

Thanks. I had to use Tools > Rectangular selection.

So one has to print it to a new pdf.

Tools -> Rectangular selection -> Copy -> New
A new untitled doc is created.

BTW I wouldn't expect cropped content to disappear from the file just because you print it to a new PDF.

To split double-page scans into two separate pages, follow these steps:

Open a PDF file containing double-page scans in PDF Expert for Mac.
Select the Scan & OCR tab.
Click Split Pages to enter a preview mode.
If needed, adjust the split line using the blue bullets on it.
Click the blue Split... button in the right to apply changes. If there is more than one page, set pages you'd like to process and click Apply.
