How can I split a multi-page PDF into individual SmartCerts? 

You can use the Page Splitting feature in SmartCert to separate a multi-page PDF into individual SmartCerts. When editing a file you own, click the scissors icon in the top-right corner of the PDF editor labeled “Split File.” Start a new group to select which pages belong together, then choose “Split into SmartCerts.” SmartCert will process your request and create new SmartCerts for each grouped file, which you can access from the Import and Created tabs in your dashboard.

Using the Page Splitting Feature in SmartCert

The Page Splitting feature allows you to easily separate a multi-page SmartCert file into individual files or new SmartCerts.

When to Use Page Splitting

Use this feature when you’ve uploaded a SmartCert file that contains multiple PDFs or pages you’d like to manage separately. For example, if a single upload includes multiple certificates, each can be split into its own SmartCert.

How to Split a File

  1. Open the SmartCert file that contains multiple pages.
    You must be the owner of the file to access the split feature.

  2. In the PDF editor, locate the scissors icon at the top right corner.
    Hovering over it will display “Split File.”

  3. Click Split File to begin.
    You’ll now be prompted to start a new group — this is where you select the pages you want to include in each split file.

Split Options

Once you’ve grouped the desired pages, you have two options:

  • Split into Files
    Combines the selected pages into a new file within the same original SmartCert.
    Use this when you want to keep all content under one SmartCert but organized into smaller files.

  • Split into SmartCerts
    Creates a new SmartCert for each file you’ve grouped.
    This option is ideal when each document should stand alone as its own SmartCert.

Processing and Accessing Your New Files

After selecting your preferred split option, SmartCert will begin processing.
This may take up to a minute depending on file size and page count.

Once complete, you can access your newly created files or SmartCerts from:

  • The Import tab

  • The Created tab in your SmartCert dashboard
