About This Feature
Overview
Split Page is one of the text editing effects available in WPS PDF. It is used to apply a Split effect to selected text in a PDF document. Before using it, open Edit mode, choose Edit Content, and switch to Text Edit mode.
Core tasks include:
- Apply the Split effect from the ribbon after entering text editing mode for a precise menu-based workflow.
- Apply the Split effect from the floating toolbar after selecting text for faster local edits.
This feature is useful for contract review, layout cleanup, training materials, and other PDF editing tasks that require direct text formatting changes.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS PDF, you can enter Edit Content and Text Edit mode, then apply the Split effect to selected text. | Microsoft Support documents table splitting in Word, but the official page does not describe an equivalent PDF text Split Page formatting effect. | Google official help describes text formatting such as bold, italic, underline, lists, and links in Google Forms, but not PDF text split-style editing. | Notion Help explains text and style handling in formulas, but it does not describe PDF page text editing or a comparable split-page text effect. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports editing PDF text and adjusting font, size, spacing, and other formatting options, which is the closest official comparison for PDF text editing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct Split command around selected PDF text through both the ribbon and the floating toolbar. | Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page focuses on splitting Word tables rather than applying a PDF text effect. | Compared with WPS: the official Google page focuses on form text formatting rather than PDF editing. | Compared with WPS: Notion documentation focuses on workspace text and formulas rather than PDF page text editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe offers a broader PDF text formatting panel; WPS is convenient when you want this PDF text effect inside the same office suite. |
| Official Source | — | Split a table in Word | Format text in your form | Formula syntax & functions | Edit text in PDFs |
Overall Conclusion: WPS Split Page is a practical choice for users who already edit PDF text inside WPS. If you need a broader set of advanced PDF text formatting controls, Adobe Acrobat provides more detailed official coverage; if you want a direct workflow inside one office suite, WPS is easier to keep in the same workspace.
