You could probably duplicate the page and then crop each one to 8.5x11. (Document -> Crop Pages or Ctrl+Shift+T)

Update: When I hit the Submit button, I saw Katie's comment, which is a good one, and may work for you, depending on your situation. An issue with cropping is that you'd have to "eyeball" it, and it would be difficult, if not impossible, to get each piece to be exactly 8.5x11. But if you're OK with "close enough" (and with doing it manually, presumably just once, or a small number of times) that's an easy way to go. Nice idea, Katie!

...if our combined page is 11×17", and we want to extract two 8 1/2×11" pages...So it does exactly what you're looking for. He has since updated that post, which he did in the Acrobat 9 days, to work with the newer Acrobat X and XI (and he said in comment that "this should also work in Acrobat DC"):
