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.
