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

Using the PDF Splitting Feature in SmartCert

The PDF 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 or received a SmartCert file that contains multiple PDFs or pages you’d like to manage separately. For example, if a PDF includes multiple certificates, each can be split into its own file or SmartCert.

How to Split a File

1. Open the SmartCert file that contains multiple pages.
   You must be the owner of the SmartCert to access the split feature. Make a copy of a SmartCert received from your supplier to enable this access. You can do this by clicking the document icon on the top of the SmartCert to make a copy. 

2. Click a file to open it in the document viewer. 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 cert package.

Processing and Accessing Your New Files

After selecting your preferred split option, SmartCert will begin processing.
This may take a few minutes 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
