Kortex Extract PDF Pages copies the pages you choose into a new PDF, or into one PDF per page, in your browser. Choose pages from thumbnails, or type ranges like 3-7, 12. Bookmarks and links for those pages come along. Nothing is uploaded.
How do I pull pages out of a PDF?
- Drop the PDF on the box above. Every page appears as a thumbnail you can zoom with a double-click.
- Select the pages. Click one, Shift-click another to take everything between, or Ctrl-click (⌘-click) to add or drop single pages.
- Drag the selected pages to change their order in the new file, or turn any that are sideways.
- Click Extract pages.
Typing page numbers
The Select box takes page numbers the way people write them. 3-7 is a run. Use commas between parts. 20- means page 20 to the end. -4 means the first four. The tool selects those pages in the grid, so you can check them before you save.
When to extract, and when to split
Extracting makes one file from the pages you chose. To cut the whole PDF into several files (by chapter, every few pages or by size), use Split PDF. To take pages from several PDFs into one, Merge PDF lets you add the files and delete the pages you do not want.
Questions
How do I extract pages from a PDF?
Drop the PDF and click the pages you want in the grid. Shift-click selects a run. Ctrl-click or ⌘-click adds single pages. Then click Extract pages. They download as one new PDF, in the order they appear in the grid.
Can I type the page numbers instead?
Yes. Type them in the Select box above the pages, like 3-7, 12, 20-, and press Enter. Or switch to Ranges and tick Put all the ranges in one PDF.
Can I save each extracted page as its own PDF?
Yes. Under Selected pages, choose A PDF for each page. You get them all in one .zip, named with their page numbers.
Does the original PDF change?
No. The tool copies the pages into a new file. The PDF on your computer stays as it was.
Do links and bookmarks come along?
Bookmarks that point to the pages you extract come along. So do links between those pages and any form fields on them. Links to pages you left out are dropped.
Is the PDF uploaded?
No. pdf.js and pdf-lib copy the pages in your browser tab. Nothing is sent anywhere.
