Split odd/even pages

Pull the odd or even pages (1-based) into their own PDF.

Runs on your device. The file is never uploaded.

Split odd/even pages divides one PDF into an odd-numbered file and an even-numbered file, named with -odd and -even suffixes. Keep either half or both; both builds the two documents in a single run. Pages hold their original order inside each half. A one-page document has no even half, so asking for it stops the run.

Questions

What is odd and even here?

1-based page numbers as printed: odd is pages 1, 3, 5; even is 2, 4, 6. Not the zero-based index the file uses internally.

What is this for?

Mostly single-sided scanning. Scan all the fronts, scan all the backs, and this separates or pairs the halves, and "both" gives you the two documents in one run, named -odd and -even.

What if the document has only one page?

You get the odd file. Asking for even pages of a one-page document fails with "document has no even pages" rather than handing you an empty PDF.
