What Extract PDF Pages does
Extract PDF Pages pulls the pages you choose out of a PDF and saves them as a new file. Click thumbnails or type page numbers, then download the selection as one PDF or as a separate PDF for every page. The original document stays as it is.
How to extract pages
- Add your PDF and wait for the thumbnails.
- Click the pages you want, or type numbers and ranges such as 1, 4-6.
- Choose the output: one PDF with the selected pages, or a separate PDF per page (delivered as a ZIP).
- Press extract and download.
Use cases
- Saving just the certificate page from a long result document.
- Sending one invoice from a file that contains a whole year.
- Pulling the signature page out of a contract.
- Keeping the pages of a manual that you actually use.
- Preparing a small file for PDF to Word or PDF to Excel so only the relevant pages are converted.
One file or separate files?
| Output | Choose it when |
|---|---|
| One PDF with the selected pages | The pages belong together, such as a chapter or a set of enclosures |
| A separate PDF per page | Each page is its own document, such as individual certificates or payslips |
How it differs from similar tools
- Split PDF divides the whole document by ranges or every N pages; it is best when every page should end up in some file.
- Delete PDF Pages keeps the document and removes a few pages.
- Extract PDF Pages is the quickest route when you want only a small part of a large file.
Tips
- Selected pages are saved in document order. To change the order, open the result in Organize PDF.
- Extraction copies pages unchanged, so quality is identical to the original.
- Links that point to pages you left out will no longer work in the new file.
- Extracting is a simple way to get under an upload limit: a 2-page extract is far smaller than a 60-page original.
Common problems
The thumbnails are too small to tell pages apart. Use the page numbers shown with each thumbnail, or look up the page number in your PDF reader and type it.
