About this tool

Extracting is deleting turned inside out: you say which pages to keep and get a brand-new PDF with just those. The original isn't touched. It's the right tool when someone needs pages 12-18 of a 60-page report, or one chapter of a manual without the rest of the book.

Selection is the same click and shift-click as the deleter. Mark the range, hit Extract, and the new file downloads under the original name plus a suffix, so the two can live side by side. Need two separate sections, say 4-6 and 22-28? Run it twice. Each pass makes its own file.

Because extraction copies rather than moves, the source PDF stays exactly as it was, which matters when you're pulling pages out of something signed or final. The extracted file is a proper PDF in its own right, with bookmarks rebuilt for the pages it contains.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between extracting and deleting pages?
Extract keeps what you select and discards the rest; delete is the reverse. They get you to the same place, so pick whichever means less clicking.
Can I extract multiple page ranges at once?
One extract produces one file with the selected pages in document order. If you want two files from two ranges, run it twice.
Does the extracted PDF keep the original metadata?
Title, author, and creation date carry over. Bookmarks and links are rewritten to match the new page numbers.
Can I extract every other page?
You can, but it's manual: ctrl-click (or cmd-click) each page you want, then Extract. There's no every-Nth shortcut yet.
Is the original file modified?
No. Extraction is a copy. Your original stays as-is on disk and the selected pages become a new download.
