About the options and output

You can pass the following parameters to the split method:

  • splitIndex: The index at which to split the PDF. The index is one-based, so the first page is 1.

The split method returns a .zip file containing the split PDFs. The .zip file contains the split PDFs as individual PDF files. It limits the size of the response.
