PDF workflow guide
Choosing a tool for PDF pages
Extracting, deleting, and splitting pages solve different problems. Choosing based on the result you need helps avoid sending the wrong pages or creating files you do not need.
Keep selected pages in one PDF
Use Extract PDF Pages when a recipient needs only a few pages together in a new document. For example, if a 12-page report contains the cover on page 1 and the relevant appendix on pages 8–10, enter 1,8-10. The tool keeps those pages in their original document order.
Remove pages and keep the rest
Use Delete PDF Pages when most of a document should stay intact. To remove blank pages 2 and 7 from a scan, enter 2,7. At least one page must remain. Review the output before sharing to make sure you kept necessary attachments, signatures, or instructions.
Create a separate file for every page
Use Split PDF when each page must be a separate PDF. The tool packages the page files in a ZIP, even for a one-page source. It does not select a subset; use extraction if you want particular pages combined in one PDF.
How page selections work
- Page numbering starts at 1, not 0.
- Separate individual pages with commas:
1,4,9. - Use an inclusive range:
3-6means pages 3, 4, 5, and 6. - Combine pages and ranges:
1,3-5,9. - Check the document's actual page count; empty, reversed, and out-of-range selections are rejected.
