Extract PDF Pages

Extracting creates a new PDF from just the pages you choose. Your original stays untouched, so it is a safe way to share part of a document.

Typical uses: sending one invoice from a monthly statement, sharing a single chapter of a long report, submitting only the signed page of a contract, or saving the page of a manual you use most.

Write the page numbers down first, for example 3, 7 and 12 to 15. Knowing exactly what you want makes selecting much faster.

Before you send an extract, check what else is on those pages. A single page of a bank statement can still show your account number, address and balance.

Extracted pages keep their original quality, layout and text, so the words can still be searched and copied.

To split a long PDF into smaller files, extract one range at a time, such as pages 1 to 50 and then 51 to 100. It is a simple way to get under upload size limits.

If you want to keep most of a file and drop only a few pages, Remove Pages takes fewer clicks.

Extracted pages can be combined with pages from other files using Merge PDF, which is useful when you build an application pack from several sources.

Name the new file clearly, such as report-chapter-3.pdf, so the person receiving it knows it is a part and not the whole document.

If you will need the same pages again, save the extracted file somewhere easy to find rather than extracting it every time.
