Open with gsview, then File -> Convert, make sure the device
is pdfwrite, then click on the pages you want for each half.

Or use gs (ghostscript command line), something like
  gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=<filename1>.pdf \
    -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=7 <inputfile>.pdf
and something similar for pages 8 - 12.
