Questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device. Your files never leave it.
How do I write page ranges?
Separate them with commas: 1-3, 5, 8- makes three files, with pages 1 to 3, page 5, and page 8 to the end. -4 means pages 1 to 4. The files follow the order you write.
Can I extract only some pages?
Yes. Choose By page ranges and write just the pages you want: 2-4 gives one file with pages 2, 3 and 4.
Is the quality of the pages reduced?
No. The pages are copied as they are, without compressing or converting anything.
Are bookmarks and form fields kept?
Bookmarks are not copied to the parts. Form fields are still visible with what was typed in them, but they can no longer be filled in.
What happens to a digitally signed PDF?
The new file no longer has a valid digital signature: any change to a signed PDF breaks it. Keep the original signed file.
Can I use a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. A PDF that is password-protected or encrypted is marked with an error and nothing is changed. If you have its password, unlock it first with the Unlock PDF tool and use the unlocked copy.
