The Technology and Logic Behind It
Jetpap's PDF splitter operates entirely inside your browser sandbox. It uses **PDF.js** to parse the PDF document catalog structures and render each page onto canvas element thumbnails in the workspace.
When you click split, **pdf-lib** modifies the document's binary stream. The engine extracts the selected pages, rebuilds the internal page trees, updates references, and generates a new PDF file. If Split to ZIP mode is selected, **JSZip** packages the individual files in memory. Since all processing runs securely, your sensitive document files never leave your device.
