# Extract Pages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pull a set of pages out of a PDF and save them as a new file. Specify exactly which pages you want using range syntax, and the tool creates a clean PDF containing only those pages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How It Works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Upload a PDF file. The tool displays the file name, size, and total page count.
|
||
|
|
2. Enter the pages you want to extract using range syntax (e.g., `1-5`, `3, 7, 10-12`).
|
||
|
|
3. Optionally choose to download each range as a separate PDF in a ZIP archive.
|
||
|
|
4. Click the process button. The extracted pages download as a new PDF (or ZIP).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Flexible page range syntax: individual pages, ranges, or comma-separated combinations
|
||
|
|
- Displays total page count after upload for easy reference
|
||
|
|
- Option to output as a single combined PDF or separate files in a ZIP
|
||
|
|
- Preserves original page content and formatting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Use Cases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Pulling the executive summary (first few pages) out of a lengthy report
|
||
|
|
- Extracting a single chapter from a textbook PDF
|
||
|
|
- Saving specific pages from a form packet as standalone documents
|
||
|
|
- Creating a sample document from selected pages of a larger file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Page numbers are 1-indexed. Use `1` for the first page, not `0`.
|
||
|
|
- For removing pages instead of extracting them, use [Delete Pages](./delete-pages) -- it is the inverse operation.
|
||
|
|
- If you need visual page selection with thumbnails, use [Split PDF](./split-pdf) in Visual Select mode.
