What is the difference between Extract and Split?

Extract makes one new file from the pages you choose. Split cuts the document into several files, for example one per page.

Can I extract the same page twice?

Yes. Listing a page more than once duplicates it in the output, which is handy for printing multiple copies of a form page.

Do the extracted pages keep their text layer?

Yes. Pages are copied as-is, so text remains searchable and selectable.

About Extract PDF Pages

Sharing an entire 200-page manual to show one diagram is wasteful; extracting the relevant pages keeps attachments small and focused.

You can list pages in any order (for example 7, 2, 9) and the new document follows that order, which doubles as a quick way to reorder a short selection.

About the format

PDF · Portable Document Format · .pdf

The fixed-layout document standard: looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, contracts and reports are shared as PDF.

A PDF can contain vector text, embedded fonts, images, form fields, annotations and digital signatures.
Scanned PDFs are just pictures of pages; they need OCR before the text can be searched or copied.
PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008.
