Extract pages
Individual pages or a range of pages can be pulled out of the current document into a separate file or group of files. The process does not alter the original document.
Protected documents, such as PDF/A documents and PDFs that have been certified, cannot have pages extracted. Additionally, extracting pages that have been digitally signed, but not certified, will remove the signatures from the extracted pages.
- Go to Document >
Extract Pages. -
Select the Page Range to be extracted from the Pages menu. By default, the page that is currently active is selected.
- All Pages: Sets the range to all pages.
- Current: Sets the range to the current page only. The current page number will appear in parentheses, for example, Current (2) if page 2 is the current page.
- Selected: Sets the range to the current selection. This option only appears if pages were selected prior to invoking the command.
- Custom: Sets the range to a custom value. When you select this option, replace any text left in the field with the page or pages to be printed directly. To enter a custom range:
- Use a dash between page numbers to define those two pages and all pages in between.
- Use a comma to define pages that are separated.
For example: 1-3, 5, 9 will include pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9.
- Select any of the following Options:
Delete Pages After Extracting: Select to permanently remove the pages from the current PDF. This option is not available if the PDF has been certified or digitally signed.
- Extract Pages as Separate Files: Select to create a one-page PDF for each page extracted from the current PDF.
- Use Page Label to Name Files: Select to use the page label in the name of the individual PDFs. This option should not be used if the page labels contain any characters that Windows considers invalid for use in file names, including \ / : * ? " < > |

- Use Page Label to Name Files: Select to use the page label in the name of the individual PDFs.

- Update hyperlinks with relative paths: Select to automatically update hyperlinks contained in extracted pages with relative paths. Otherwise, full paths are used. See Defining an Action: Relative and Full Paths for more information regarding relative and full paths.
- Select OK. If any of the pages to be extracted have been digitally signed, a dialog will appear warning that those signatures will be automatically cleared on the extracted pages. Select OK to proceed.
