How to split a PDF or extract specific pages on Linux
You don't need special software to split a PDF or extract specific pages on Linux. FernPDF runs entirely in Firefox or Chrome on Linux: open the tool, drop your file, download the result. Pages are sliced locally, ideal for pulling one exhibit out of a long confidential filing.
No hunting for the right CLI flags or building tools from source. A browser is the only dependency, on any distribution.
