How to Extract Pages from PDF Files — a Step-By-Step Guide

Published January 31, 2022

If you work with PDF files, you'll likely often need to extract pages. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of tools to assist with this task. People extract PDF pages for a variety of reasons. Here are three of the most popular:

You only need selected pages — If you have a large document and only need specific pages for presentation, upload, or any other reason, you will want to extract pages from the PDF.

Rearranging PDF pages — You can detach pages and reposition them in the document if you wish to change the page numbers and shift some parts to a new section.

Converting PDF pages — Instead of converting the complete file, you may wish to extract PDF pages to separate and convert a specific section of the document.

Extraction is the process of copying and pasting chosen pages from one PDF into another. The content of extracted pages includes all form fields, comments, and links to the original page content.

You have the option of leaving the extracted pages in the original document or removing them during the extraction process, which is similar to cutting-and-pasting or copying-and-pasting, but this time on the scale of entire pages.

How to Extract Pages from PDFs in Adobe Acrobat

The Extract Pages feature in Adobe AcrobatTM makes it easy to split a PDF file into two or more distinct PDF files. Pages from an existing PDF document can be extracted and used as the basis for a single new PDF document or multiple versions. When extracting pages, you have the option of keeping the original versions in the document or deleting them.

Make sure you have the authorization to edit the PDF before manipulating its pages. To determine this, go to File > Properties, then to the Security tab. Permissions are listed in the "Summary of Document Restrictions".

With Adobe Acrobat DC, extracting a single or numerous pages from a PDF file is a breeze (if you use another product, chances are the steps are similar). The methods are basic, but they can be a little confusing for first-time users. Here's everything you need to know:
