Open Extract PDF Pages →1. Choose this workflow
Save only the PDF pages needed for a smaller document. Numbering starts at 1 and follows the document’s physical page order, not printed page labels.
2. Prepare your input
Count physical pages from 1, including the cover. Enter pages and ascending ranges in the desired order, such as 1,3-5.
3. Follow a worked example
For a five-page PDF, 1,3-5 creates four output pages. The sequence 3,1 creates two pages in that order.
4. Check the result
Download and open the saved copy in your usual viewer. Compare it with the example and original: check dimensions, order, orientation and legibility where applicable. Extract ZIP exports and inspect their members. Keep your original until the output is checked.
5. Can I repeat a page?
Yes. Repeated numbers create repeated output pages. Ranges must ascend and remain within the source document. Selecting pages does not securely redact hidden content.
6. Recover from an error
Read the file-type, size and processing limits on the tool page. An extension alone does not prove a file is valid. Try a small supported file or re-export from the source app. Protected or corrupt documents may need an authorized replacement. A successful click alone does not prove the saved copy is usable.

Start with a small example and check the result before using your own data.
