How It Works
The workflow resolves the selected physical page numbers and copies only those source pages into one new PDF in the chosen sequence.
Limitations and Important Notes
- Links or bookmarks that target omitted pages may no longer work.
- Encrypted files may need unlocking first.
- Extraction does not redact information visible on selected pages.
Worked Example
Select pages 2, 5, and 9 from a manual to create one three-page reference PDF.
Helpful Tips
- Confirm page labels versus physical positions.
- Use Split PDF for several separate range outputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are selected pages combined?
Yes. They are copied into one output PDF.
Does extraction alter the original?
No. It creates a separate download.
Is this the same as splitting?
Extraction makes one chosen subset; splitting can produce multiple files or ranges.
