About Extract Pages

Extract Pages is useful when you want to pull only the relevant pages from a PDF and save them as a new document. Instead of sharing an entire file, you can send just the pages that matter.

How to Use Extract Pages

  1. 1
    Upload the source PDF

    Select the file that contains the pages you want to isolate.

  2. 2
    Choose the pages to extract

    Select the exact page numbers or groups that should become a new PDF.

  3. 3
    Check the page order

    Confirm that the extracted pages are in the right sequence for the new file.

  4. 4
    Download the extracted PDF

    Create and save a fresh PDF containing only the chosen pages.

Things to Know Before You Start

  • Extraction creates a new PDF, so the original file stays unchanged unless you replace it manually.
  • If a file relies on internal links or page references, review the new extracted document to make sure it still makes sense on its own.
  • Password-protected files may need to be unlocked first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Extract Pages change the original PDF?

No. It creates a new file from the selected pages while leaving the original source PDF untouched.

Can I extract non-consecutive pages?

Yes, the tool is meant for selecting exactly the pages you need, even if they are spread across the document.
