Splitting PDFs for Email
Email providers limit attachment sizes (typically 10-25MB). When your PDF is too large, splitting is the solution.
Email Attachment Limits
| Provider | Limit |
| Gmail | 25 MB |
| Outlook | 20 MB |
| Yahoo | 25 MB |
| Corporate | 10-15 MB (varies) |
Strategies
1. Split by sections: If sending a report, split into sections and send multiple emails. 2. Extract relevant pages only: Don't send the entire 100-page document if the recipient only needs pages 5-12. 3. Split into equal parts: Break a 30MB PDF into three 10MB files.After Splitting
- Name files clearly: "Report_Part1.pdf", "Report_Part2.pdf"
- In your email, mention the total number of parts
- Consider using file compression if individual parts are still large
- For very large documents, consider cloud storage links instead
