Direct answer
The most common risk when working with split-pdf is accepting a plausible-looking result without checking page count, page order, orientation, selectable text and annotations.
Key takeaways
- Purpose: extract the requested subset without unintentionally losing other data.
- Check: page count, page order, orientation, selectable text and annotations.
- Limitation: encrypted files, signatures, forms and scans may behave differently.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the output is correct because the operation completed. Instead, inspect page count, page order, orientation, selectable text and annotations.
- Using production or confidential material as the first test. Use a three-page project brief and a two-page appendix instead.
- Ignoring compatibility: encrypted files, signatures, forms and scans may behave differently.
