Aspose

Split a document into parts

Aspose provides a powerful API to split Word documents. It’s a common document automation task when you need to break a large document into a number of smaller ones to handle them separately.

For example, you must have been in a situation when you have a massive DOCX file, requiring urgent team work. In this case, it is pretty necessary to divide a Word document into sub-documents to speed up the collaborative workflow.

Task to split a DOCX document by hand with manual copying and pasting may be a long, labor-intensive, sub-optimal approach. Instead, you can improve your efficiency dramatically with this API by breaking Word document into files, while specifying operation parameters as you need.

Using this API you can easily split a DOC, DOT, DOCX, DOTX, RTF, ODT, OTT, TXT document and save the results to DOC, DOCX, PDF, ODT, RTF, HTML, JPEG, PNG and many other file formats.
