I want to split it into chapters the book is 1050 pages

I used one the free online splitters to cut out a chapter earlier. but now I can't find it. there are MB limits so I'm over

I thought the acrobat reader on the University pc would do it but the tool is not there

Re: spliting pdf

See here.

As you said, you may need the paid version of Acrobat. I believe Acrobat DC is the latest version, but your institution may have otherwise. The procedure may also vary depending on the operating system.

Re: spliting pdf

Mm.. Most of the online options have 100mb limits. Are you using Mac OS or Windows?

I'm surprised the tool is not available at your institution..
