Question 1

How do I extract specific pages from a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Upload your PDF, then either click on page thumbnails to select them, or type a range like "1,3-5,8" into the selector. Click Extract to download a new PDF containing only the pages you chose.

Question 2

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Page extraction happens entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never touches a server — nothing is uploaded, stored, or tracked.

Question 3

What's the difference between extracting and splitting a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Extracting pulls a specific subset of pages into one new PDF (e.g., pages 2, 4, and 6 into a single file). Splitting usually means dividing a PDF into multiple smaller PDFs. Our extractor handles both use cases.

Question 4

Can I extract pages from a password-protected PDF?

Accepted Answer

You need to remove the password first using our PDF Unlock tool, then extract. Password-protected PDFs cannot be modified directly — this is a PDF spec requirement, not a limitation of our tool.

Question 5

Is there a page limit?

Accepted Answer

No hard limit. Extraction runs in your browser, so performance depends on your device's memory. Most users can process PDFs with hundreds of pages without issue.
