Extract PDF Pages

What is PDF Page Extraction?

Page extraction creates a new PDF containing only selected pages from a larger document. Perfect for sharing specific sections, creating excerpts, removing unwanted pages, or splitting large PDFs into smaller, focused documents.

Our tool lets you select exactly which pages to extract, creating a new PDF with just those pages while preserving all formatting, links, and content quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does extraction modify the original PDF?

No. Extraction creates a new PDF with selected pages. Your original file remains unchanged and intact.

Can I extract pages in a different order?

Yes. Most extraction tools let you reorder pages. Select pages in the sequence you want them to appear in the new PDF.

Will page numbers update in extracted PDF?

Actual page numbers (if part of the content/header/footer) remain as-is. PDF page numbers (shown in reader) start from 1 in the new document.

Can I extract the same page multiple times?

Yes. You can select page 5 twice to include it multiple times in the extracted PDF, useful for creating custom duplicates.

How do I extract a page range?

Use page range notation like "1-5" for pages 1 through 5, or "1,3,5-7" for pages 1, 3, and 5 through 7.

Are my PDFs stored?

No. All processing is secure and files are automatically deleted. We never store or access your documents.

Tips for Best Results

  • Double-check page numbers before extracting—PDF page 1 may not be document page 1
  • Preview pages in original PDF to verify correct selection
  • For complex selections, write down page numbers before starting
  • Extract pages in reading order for better document flow
  • Consider adding page numbers after extraction if original numbering is confusing
  • Keep original PDF as a master copy before extracting
