2. Select a PDF under Split PDF.
3. Enter pages like 1,1,3-5,7-2 to extract specific ranges, including reverse ranges.
4. Optionally set an output filename.
5. Click Extract Pages to download the result.

Page syntax examples

• 1,3,5 extracts pages 1, 3, and 5.
• 2-6 extracts pages 2 through 6.
• 7-2 extracts pages 7 down to 2 (reverse order).
• all extracts all pages.

Tips
