About this tool
Extract specific pages from a PDF and save them as a new document. Use it to pull out the cover page, a particular chapter, an appendix, or any subset of pages without disturbing the original. Ideal for sharing just the relevant excerpt of a long report or contract.
When to use it
- Pulling the signature page out of a multi-page contract for re-signing
- Extracting one chapter from a long document to share with a focused audience
- Separating an appendix from the main body of a report
- Producing a shorter excerpt of a long PDF for a quick reference
- Removing pages you don't want included before forwarding the document
What to expect
Selected pages are exported in their original quality — no recompression or downsampling. If you need to reorder pages, do it in the input order: the output preserves the sequence you specify. Annotations and form fields on extracted pages are preserved.
Frequently asked questions
Can I reorder pages while extracting?
Yes. Specify pages in the order you want them in the output: entering `5,2,9` produces a PDF where the original page 5 appears first, followed by 2, then 9.
Will form fields and annotations on extracted pages still work?
Form fields and annotations on the selected pages are preserved. Cross-page references (e.g., a form field that posts to a script) may break if dependencies aren't on the extracted pages.
How is this different from splitting a PDF?
Extract Pages produces one PDF containing only the selected pages. Split PDF produces multiple PDFs, each holding a different range. Use Extract for a single excerpt, Split for batch separation.
