How to Extract Pages from a PDF and Save Them as a New File
Save just the pages you need from a PDF as a new file — by clicking page thumbnails or typing page ranges like 1-3, 7. Free, in your browser.
Quick answer
- Extract PDF lets you click the page thumbnails you want; Split PDF lets you type ranges like 1-3, 7.
- Either way you get a new PDF with only those pages — your original isn't changed.
- To remove a few pages and keep the rest, Delete PDF Pages is quicker.
Often you only need part of a PDF: one chapter of a textbook, the signature page of a contract, or the two pages of a long statement that a form actually asks for. Sending only those pages is faster, keeps the file small, and avoids sharing information that isn't needed.

Frequently asked questions
Does extracting pages change my original PDF?
No. PDFDoco creates a new file with the pages you chose. Your original stays exactly as it was.
Can I extract pages that aren't next to each other?
Yes. Click any pages in Extract PDF Pages, or type them in Split PDF separated by commas, for example 2, 5, 9-11.
Will the extracted pages lose quality?
No. Pages are copied as they are, so text stays selectable and images keep their original quality.
Can I do this on my phone?
