Expert Answer

You'll need a free PDF printer. What you would do is open up the page you want and proceed as if you're going to print the pages you'd like to split to your printer. Instead of selecting your physical printer, select your PDF printer. The PDF printer will take those pages and create a new PDF with a new file name. Type in the file name and save where you want to save it.
