How to use Extract PDF Pages

  1. 1

    Open the PDF

    Drop the document in, then name the pages you want out of it.

  2. 2

    Say which pages

    Type the pages and ranges you want, such as 1-3, 7. Or choose the mode that saves every page as its own PDF.

  3. 3

    Save what came out

    One file comes back, called original-pages.pdf, holding the pages you named in the order you wrote them.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I take pages that are not next to each other?

Yes. Write them together, like 1-3, 7, 9-10, and the new PDF holds exactly those pages in that order.

Is anything lost in the pages I extract?

No. They are copied out of the original rather than re-drawn, so the text, the images and the quality are the same as they were.

What if I want every page separately?

There is a mode for that. Each page is written as its own PDF and the set arrives as a ZIP.

Does the original change?

No. The file you opened is read only. New files are written; nothing is written back.

What happens if I switch to another tab while it works?

The work pauses and picks up where it left off when you come back. Browsers throttle hidden tabs, so a job left running in the background would slow to a crawl or stall outright.

Background

Reasons to Pull Pages Out

Name the pages you need and they come out as their own document. Write ranges the way you would in a print dialog, or ask for every page as a separate file.

  • One chapter out of a long report is easier to send and easier for the reader to find.
  • A signature page, a receipt, a single form: the page you need without the ninety you do not.
  • Cutting a document down before sharing means the parts you left out were never in the file.
  • Splitting every page apart gives you something to reorder or recombine later.
