How to send only part of a bank statement

Landlords, lenders and agencies often ask for a statement and get a great deal more than they need. You can send exactly what was requested.

Split a PDF
Whichever tool you use here, the file stays on your device. How that works

Step by step

  1. 1Add the PDF and check its physical page count. Page 1 means the first file page, not a printed label.
  2. 2Enter a range such as 1-3, 7, 10-12 or select page thumbnails.
  3. 3Extract the selected pages as one PDF and inspect the saved result.
  4. 4Choose every-page splitting for one PDF per page. Repeat extraction with different ranges for several multi-page documents.

Send what was asked for, not what was convenient

A retained statement page can still contain account numbers, addresses and unrelated transactions. Inspect what remains before sending. Page selection reduces scope but does not mask sensitive fields.

Ranges use physical page indices. Nonexistent pages are ignored and repeated numbers are removed.

All content on a kept page remains. Selecting pages is not redaction.

Checking you did not send too much

Open the saved file and read every page before you send it. Then look for anything on those pages that should not leave, such as an account number, an address or unrelated transactions. Splitting removes whole pages, but it does not remove details inside a page you kept.

To hide something inside a page, convert the page to a picture with PDF to JPG, cover the detail using Blur or hide with the solid block, and build a PDF again with Image to PDF. The block replaces the pixels, so the information is not in the file at all.

Questions

Can one range produce several multi-page files?

No. It creates one selected-page PDF. Repeat with another range, or use every-page splitting for individual files.

What if the PDF will not split?

A PDF that needs a password to open must be unlocked first with Protect PDF. For a very long document the thumbnails can take a moment, and you can still type the page numbers yourself.

How do I hide an account number on a page I need to send?

Convert the page to an image, cover the number with a solid block in Blur or hide, then turn the image back into a PDF. The hidden area is replaced, not just covered.
