SnapToolsPull specific pages out of a PDF
Runs in your browserDrop the PDF in below to split it into one file per page. To take a specific range instead, use the Split PDF tool where you can type a selection such as 2-5.
Extracting rather than printing
The common workaround — print to PDF with a page range — rasterises everything, so the extracted pages lose selectable text and grow considerably. Extracting copies the page objects instead, so the output is byte-for-byte as sharp as the original and the text still works.
Extract or delete, whichever is less typing
If you are keeping a few pages from a long document, extract them. If you are dropping a couple of pages from an otherwise complete document, deleting is far easier to express — 'remove page 1' beats 'keep pages 2 through 47'.
Sharing less than the whole file
Sending one section rather than an entire report is often the safer choice as well as the smaller one — it avoids circulating pages the recipient did not need and should not have.
What extraction does not remove
Taking pages out of a document copies those pages faithfully, which includes anything on them you may have forgotten about: comments, form fields, and content hidden behind a white box rather than genuinely deleted. Redaction is a different operation from extraction, and drawing a rectangle over text in most editors hides it visually while leaving the characters underneath. If a page contains something that must not travel, remove the page rather than obscuring part of it.
FAQ
- Is my PDF uploaded?
- No. Pages are copied in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored.
- How do I take just pages 2 to 5?
- Use the Split PDF tool and enter 2-5 as the page selection. Ranges, single pages and open ends such as 8- all work.
- Does extracting reduce quality?
- No. Pages are copied at the object level rather than re-rendered, so text stays selectable and images are untouched.
