Recently, I was trying to send a 30 MB PDF file through an email attachment. But Gmail does not allow to upload and send files above 25 MB. One has suggested me to split PDF files into two small files by using a free PDF splitter. I used SystoTech PDF split and merge which really helped me to do the required task.I am amazed with its features like: splitting PDF file into smaller documents, merging multiple PDF files into one or compressing the size of PDF file etc. You can read more details here: http://www.systotech.com/pdf-split-and-merge.aspx

Why not use WeTransfer, DropBox, Box, OneDrive/SkyDrivr, Google Drive and just send a link?

If you must split a PDF there are a few different ways to do it with Acrobat Pro 

Document > Split Document
Document > Extract Pages
Pages > Options > Extract Pages

Or use Pages palette to delete / save as 

Pages palette can also be used to recombine separate PDFs into one file again.

I clicked the link to see their product line. They have a PDF to HTML converter. Free and online too. Just upload your PDF. I'm always interested in these types of tools because I rarely never find one that actually works. This one was no exception. Runtime error after my PDF uploaded. New year. SOS. :rotf:

Why would a spam bot want you to do something so simple?

Then post it to your website and send a link. If you're monitoring your DNS records, setup DKIM, DNSSEC, use https your domain is less likely to be compromised and used by spammers. While GMail may allow you to send 25MB attachments, companies like Rackspace allow up to 50MB. But many mail servers will limit attachment sizes to 10MB or 15MB or less. So even if you split it into 25MB segments, you still have a problem of email recipient limitations. So sending a http link is an easy, reliable and friendly way of sending files large files. How many times do you download files from http links under the assumption they are clean? From a perceived (and real) reliable source you do it frequently without a second thought.
