About PDF Page Extraction Tool
PDF Page Extraction creates new PDF documents containing only specified pages from larger files. Supporting flexible page selection syntax (comma-separated individual pages, hyphenated ranges, or combinations), the tool uses pdf-lib to clone selected pages while preserving original formatting, fonts, images, and metadata. All processing occurs client-side without document upload, ensuring complete privacy when extracting pages from confidential reports, legal documents, or proprietary materials.
This solution serves professionals sharing specific sections from lengthy reports, students extracting assignment pages from multi-chapter textbooks, legal teams isolating exhibits from case materials, and researchers extracting relevant pages from journals. Whether creating focused presentations from comprehensive decks, sharing single contract pages without full agreement, extracting invoice pages from statements, or building custom compilations from multiple source PDFs, the tool delivers targeted page extraction without Adobe Acrobat subscriptions.
