Pull the pages you want into a single new document, in the order you list them.
Any PDF with a normal page structure.
Nothing is uploaded. The file is read on your device.
Page numbers in the tool match the page numbers in your reader.
Single pages, ranges, or a mix: "1, 4-6, 12-" is valid. Order matters. "5,1" puts page five first.
Everything you selected lands in one new document, in the order you listed it.
Single pages, ranges, or a mix. "1, 4-6, 12-" is a valid selection.
Pages appear in the order you list them, so extracting can reorder at the same time.
Everything selected lands in a single document, unlike split which makes one file per range.
Your source file is read, never written. Nothing is modified on disk.
Extraction is the tool people reach for when they want part of a document to send onward.
Because pages come out in the order you list them, extraction doubles as a way to rearrange a subset without a separate step.
Ask for page 99 of a 20-page file and it is skipped rather than erroring. If nothing at all matches, the tool tells you instead of producing an empty document.
Extract keeps what you name; delete removes what you name. For "everything except pages 4 and 5", the delete tool is fewer keystrokes.
Extracting the pages someone needs is safer than sending the whole file. Check the result before sending, since a page you did not intend to include is easy to miss.
Extract puts everything you select into one new document. Split makes a separate file for each range.
Yes. Pages come out in the order you list them, so "5,1,3" gives you those three pages in that order.
Out-of-range numbers are ignored. If nothing matches, the tool says so rather than producing an empty file.
