Split a PDF for Court Filing
Court e-filing systems like CM/ECF impose per-document size limits, so a large brief or exhibit bundle often has to be filed in parts. Splitting it correctly — at clean page boundaries, in the right order — keeps your filing organized and compliant. PdfXpo splits filings free, letting you break a document at chosen ranges so each part stays under the court's cap.
Legal filings are confidential, so PdfXpo keeps the whole process in your browser — nothing is uploaded and the document never leaves your control. It is free, unlimited, and watermark-free, so associates and paralegals can prepare compliant, well-organized filings without paid software or a cloud transfer of sensitive material.
