macOS – Command-Line Method to Split Multi-Page PDF into Single Pages

command linemacospdf

I have a PDF file 6 pages long that I want to split into 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, etc…

Preview does not work for this surprisingly (unless I am missing something).

I would love to be able to do this simple task from the command line, but at this point I will take anything that gets the job done (without downloading sketchy software)

FYI http://users.skynet.be/tools/ does not work as advertised.

Open up the pdf in preview and then on the view menu select thumbnails. Ctrl select the pages that you want now drag and drop them to the desktop.
