How to Extract Selected Pages from a PDF
Use PDF page numbers and ranges to create a smaller document, and verify the result before sharing.
You can create a new PDF containing only the pages you need without converting the pages into images. iPDF’s Split PDF tool copies selected pages into a downloadable document.
Find the correct page positions
Use the page position shown by your PDF viewer, starting at 1. A report may label its introduction with Roman numerals or start printed numbering after the cover. Printed page “1” can therefore be the third page in the actual file.
Enter a selection
1extracts the first page.2-4extracts the second, third and fourth pages.1-3,5keeps the first three pages followed by the fifth.5,1-2puts page five first, then pages one and two.
The selection order is also the output order. Repeating a page number repeats that page in the output. Enter complete ascending ranges; a range such as 4-2 is invalid. A selection outside the document length is rejected.
Upload, extract and review
- Select one PDF up to 20 MB.
- Enter the page positions and click Split PDF.
- Download the result within 10 minutes.
- Open the output and check page count and order before sharing.
Extraction is not redaction
Removing entire pages does not remove sensitive information from the pages you keep. A retained page can still contain visible text, annotations or other content. If you need to remove private information inside a page, use a dedicated redaction tool and inspect the exported result.
The current tool does not accept password-protected PDFs. Obtain an authorized, unprotected copy first. If you need to combine the selected pages with another document, use Merge PDF after extraction. Keep a local copy of the original so you can choose a different set of pages later.
