How to use Extract PDF Pages
Choose a PDF, type the pages to keep, such as 2 or 4-7 or 1,3-5, then press Extract pages and download the new PDF.
Extract or split?
Extracting gives you one new PDF made of the pages you pick. Splitting gives you several PDFs at once, one for each range or one for every page. Use extract to send the signed page of a contract or one chapter of a report; use Split PDF to cut a long file into parts.
Writing page numbers
Pages count from the first page of the file, the same as the page box in a PDF viewer, which can differ from numbers printed on the pages. Separate pages with commas and use a hyphen for a range. Pages come out in their original order whatever order you type them in; use Organize PDF to change the order.
How it works
The chosen pages are copied, in page order, into a new PDF
Examples
- Worked example
Type 1,3-5 to save pages 1, 3, 4 and 5 as a new four-page PDF.
Limitations and assumptions
Page numbers count from the first page of the file. Encrypted PDFs need unlocking first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I save a single page of a PDF?
Type its page number, for example 4, and download a one-page PDF.
Does extracting pages lower the quality?
No. Pages are copied as they are, so text stays selectable and images keep their resolution.
Can I extract pages from a password protected PDF?
Unlock it first with Unlock PDF, using the password you open it with, then extract the pages.
