Extract PDF pages: ship only the annex your client asked for

Published 2026-05-04

Pick non-contiguous pages with ranges, keep metadata light, and pair with merge when reassembling packages.

Legal and sales teams constantly forward excerpts instead of 200-page master files. Extraction preserves vector text where possible and avoids retyping.

Ranges for “cherry picking”

Combine spans: 2-4,10,15-16 builds a compact PDF with just those leaves. Verify against the printed page numbers in the footer, not the viewer’s sidebar order if bookmarks reorder display.

After extraction

If you need to prepend a cover sheet from another file, merge the cover PDF first in merge, then append the extracted excerpt.
