I know this is an old thread but perhaps this might help new users:

Useful links for new complied versions can be found here:

https://mupdf.readthedocs.io/en/1.26.11/

https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/mupdf

https://mupdf.com/releases?product=MuPDF

This web site allows free use of MuTool on line:

https://www.sejda.com/split-pdf-down-the-middle

If you use Windows and Chocolatey then:

choco install mupdf

will install the latest version.

Syntax is:

mutool poster -r -x 2 1.pdf 1a.pdf
D:\Downloads\mupdf-1.26.2-windows>mutool poster
usage: mutool poster [options] input.pdf [output.pdf]
        -p -    password
        -m -    margin (overlap) between pages (pts, or %)
        -x      x decimation factor
        -y      y decimation factor
        -r      split right-to-left

and so this:

mutool poster -r -x 2 1.pdf 1a.pdf

will 'cut' a dual page PDF into a single multipage PDF of separate left & right pages.
