Private to your session. Files expire after 2 hours, or you can delete them sooner. How it works

Keep the pages your reader needs

Create a focused document without sending the entire source. Enter 2-5 for a continuous section, 1,8,10 for individual pages, or 5-1 to reverse a range. Selection order is also the order in the new PDF.

Send an excerpt without the full report

Extract an appendix, a signed page or a relevant chapter for a separate attachment. Check whether other pages contain context the recipient needs. If you want to remove a small number of pages from an otherwise complete document, Remove pages may be quicker.

Before you start

Page selection uses the PDF’s actual page positions, not printed chapter numbers. Extraction is not redaction: information on the pages you keep remains present. Use permanent redaction to remove information within a retained page.

How to use Extract pages

  1. Preview the document

    Upload a PDF and locate the pages you need using the preview and thumbnails.

  2. Select the pages to keep

    Choose thumbnails or enter a list such as 1,4-6. The numbers refer to positions in this PDF.

  3. Save your selection

    Download the new PDF and check its opening and closing pages. Your source file on your device is unchanged.

Extract pages questions

Does extracting pages delete them from my original?

No. You receive a new PDF containing your selection. The original file on your device is unchanged.

Can I extract pages from a scan?

Yes. The page images are retained; OCR is only needed if you also want searchable text.

How is this different from Split PDF?

Extract pages creates one PDF from your selection. Split PDF can also create an individual PDF for every selected page.

What happens to my files?

Files are private to your session or account. Free downloads expire after 2 hours; Pro downloads after 7 days. You can delete them sooner from your workspace.
