How to use Extract pages

  1. Open the PDFAll pages appear as thumbnails.
  2. Select pages to keepClick each page you want; the order follows the original document.
  3. ExtractSave as one combined PDF, or tick the option to get one file per selected page.

Extract vs. split vs. remove

Extract is the visual way to keep a few pages. Split is quicker when you already know page numbers or want many parts at once. Remove pages is the inverse of extract — you click what goes instead of what stays.

One file per page

With “Save each selected page as a separate PDF” switched on, every selected page becomes its own file, named with its page number. That is useful when each page is a separate receipt or certificate.

Pulling the signed pages from a contract

A common job is sending only the signature pages of a long agreement back to the other party. Open the contract, click the pages with signature blocks — say 4, 11 and 23 — and extract. You get one short PDF in page order. Tick “Save each selected page as a separate PDF” instead and every chosen page becomes its own file, bundled as a zip when you download them all.

Need more than one step? The Workbench runs Extract pages together with other operations on the same file in one go — for example merge → compress → protect.

Questions about Extract pages

Does extracting change the original?

No. A new file is created; your original stays exactly as it was.

Can I change page order while extracting?

Extract keeps the original order. Run the result through Reorder pages afterwards — the “Continue” buttons pass it along.

Are links and form fields kept?

Page content, images and annotations on the page are copied. Document-wide structures like bookmarks are not.

How do I collect pages from different PDFs into one file?

Work on one file at a time here. To collect pages from several documents, merge them first and then extract the pages you need from the merged file.
