  1. Click to select an input file (the PDF you want to extract pages from).
  2. In "Page Selection", ensure Page Range mode is selected.
  3. In the input boxes, enter start page 2 and end page 5 respectively.
  4. Specify output filename and output folder.
  5. Click the "Execute" button. After the command completes, you'll get an extracted PDF file.

🤔 When Should I Use It? ​

  • From a hundred-page report, you only need a specific chapter to send to colleagues.
  • From a scanned e-book, you only want to extract the cover and table of contents.
  • You need to separately extract the signature page from a contract for archiving.
  • You want to split a large PDF file into multiple smaller files.

⚙️ Parameter Description ​

Page Selection ​

This is the core of this tool, providing three flexible extraction modes. Please note that all page numbers start from 1.

  • Page Range: Used to extract a continuous page interval.

    • Example: To extract pages 10 to 20, enter 10 for start page and 20 for end page.

  • Single Page: Extract only one specific page.

    • Example: To extract page 5, select this mode and enter 5.

  • All Pages: Equivalent to copying the entire PDF document.

Output Settings ​

  • Output Filename: Specify a name for your newly generated PDF file containing only the selected pages.
  • Output Folder: Choose the save location for the new PDF file.

⚠️ Dependency Installation ​

This tool depends on the pdfly Python package. You need to install Python and pip on your Mac first, then run this once in the terminal:
