About Extract Pages
Extracting is the inverse of deleting: you name the pages you want and get a new document containing exactly those, in the order you listed them. That ordering detail is genuinely useful — asking for 5,1,3 gives you those pages in that sequence, which makes this a quick way to reorder a short document as well as subset a long one. The original is never modified.
When to use Extract Pages
Sending only the relevant section
Pull the four pages a colleague actually needs out of a long report rather than making them hunt.
Separating documents from one scan
A single scanning pass often contains several unrelated documents. Extract each into its own file.
Reordering a few pages
Listing pages in a different order outputs them in that order, which is faster than a full page-organiser for small fixes.
Limitations worth knowing
- Page numbers are 1-based and ranges include both ends, so 1-3 yields three pages.
- Bookmarks and outline entries from the source are not carried across.
- Internal links pointing outside the extracted set will no longer resolve.
- Requesting a page beyond the document's length returns an error rather than being ignored.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this and Split PDF?+
They overlap heavily — both produce a new document from selected pages. Extract is oriented around picking specific pages and controlling their order, including reordering. Use whichever framing matches how you're thinking about the task.
Can I reorder pages while extracting?+
Yes. Pages appear in the order you list them, so requesting 3,1,2 returns them in that sequence. For a small reordering job this is quicker than a visual page organiser.
Is the original document changed?+
No. The source is read to build a new file and your copy is left exactly as it was. Extraction is always non-destructive.
