How to take certain pages out of a PDF

Sending a whole bank statement when someone asked for one page hands over far more than you meant to. Taking the page out first is safer and quicker.

Split a PDF
Whichever tool you use here, the file stays on your device. How that works

Step by step

  1. 1Add the PDF and the page count appears underneath.
  2. 2Type the pages you want, in the form 1-3, 7, 10-12.
  3. 3Take those pages, and check the count shown before saving.
  4. 4Or switch to splitting every page into its own file if that suits better.

Pages, not screenshots

It is tempting to screenshot the page instead. Resist it. A screenshot loses the selectable text, prints badly, and looks like a screenshot to whoever receives it.

Extracting keeps the real page: same text, same quality, same size on paper. What comes out is a proper PDF, just shorter.

Because the split happens in your browser, the rest of the document was never sent anywhere either, which is usually the whole point of sending one page.

Questions

What if I type a page that does not exist?

It is ignored rather than failing, and the count tells you how many pages you are actually keeping.

Can I reorder while splitting?

Use the rotate and reorder tool for that. It shows every page as a thumbnail.

Is the document uploaded?

No.
