Sharing Relevant Sections

Send only the pertinent pages rather than an entire 100-page document.

Creating Reference Materials

Extract key pages for quick reference without keeping the full document.

Meeting Preparation

Pull out agenda pages or relevant sections for meeting prep.

Study Materials

Extract specific chapters or sections from textbooks.

How Page Extraction Works

  1. Upload your PDF.
  2. Preview all pages as thumbnails.
  3. Select the pages you want.
  4. Extract and download.

The result is a new PDF containing only your selected pages.

  2. Upload your PDF file.
  3. View the page thumbnails.
  4. Select "Extract Page Range."

  • Identify the correct pages visually.
  • Verify you're selecting the right content.
  • Avoid mistakes before extraction.
