PDF Extract Pages
Pull selected pages out of a PDF into a new document with our PDF Extract Pages tool. Enter pages and ranges such as 1,4-6,10- and get one PDF with exactly those pages in their original order, while the source file stays untouched. Bookmarks, links and form fields of the extracted pages come along. Handy for sharing a single section, an appendix or the signed pages of a contract.
Frequently asked questions
How do I extract pages from a PDF?
Upload a PDF, enter the pages you want, such as 2,5-8, and click Extract Pages. You receive a new PDF named after the original with -extracted added, containing only those pages.
How do I select the pages?
Write single pages like 3 and spans like 4-6, separated by commas. An open end like 10- runs to the last page, and -3 means the first three pages.
In which order do the pages appear?
The extracted pages keep their order in the original document, and a page entered twice appears once. To put pages in a different order, use PDF Reorder Pages.
Are bookmarks and links kept?
Bookmarks and internal links that point to extracted pages are kept and lead to the right page. Bookmarks for pages you left out are dropped, and their sub-bookmarks move up a level.
Do form fields still work?
Yes. Fields on the extracted pages stay fillable and keep their values. Fields that only appear on pages you left out are removed.
How large can the PDF be?
The PDF can be up to 10 MB with at most 200 pages. You can extract any number of its pages.
Does the new PDF keep the quality of the original?
Yes. Pages are copied with their text, fonts, vector graphics and images unchanged, and only the resources those pages use are included, so the result is usually smaller than the original.
Can I extract pages from a protected PDF?
Yes, enter the password to open it; files that only restrict printing or copying need none. The new PDF is saved without a password.
What is not carried over?
Accessibility tags, page labels and document-level JavaScript are not carried over, and digital signatures no longer validate. The title, author and attachments of the original are kept.
Are my files stored?
No. The pages are extracted in memory for this request and the result is returned directly. Nothing is written to storage on the server.
