Splitting PDF files for iPhone

Is there any way to split large, protected pdf files to work with Quickoffice on the iPhone? Quickoffice has no "go to" page function making it very difficult to read a large document. I don't want to change anything in the file, just put the file into bite size pieces.
Thanks

I might have an idea. Open the document in Preview. Then select Print. Click the "PDF" button in the lower left corner. In the print dialog choose to only print pages 1-4, then Print. Next Print-to-PDF pages 5-8 and so on. Then sync the resulting set of doc to the iPhone.

Clicking PDF in the PRINT window gives a grayed out "Save as PDF". As I stated, it is a protected file.

I've done this using a program called PDFKey Pro. It's a paid app, though you may also find free alternatives.
