Extract PDF pages for NDAs: ship exhibits without forwarding secrets

Legal teams frequently receive a fully executed agreement PDF that also contains confidential schedules they cannot forward to a subcontractor. Extraction is the polite alternative to screenshots, because it keeps vector text searchable and preserves embedded fonts better than pasting into email.

Use precise non-contiguous ranges

Syntax such as 2-3,7,12-15 builds a lean exhibit PDF containing only the referenced leaves. Always cross-check against footer page numbers; some contracts restart numbering in annexes and viewers still count absolute positions.

Pair with merge for branding

If counsel wants a branded cover page created elsewhere, export that cover as its own PDF and prepend it using Merge PDF after extraction finishes.

Evidence and traceability

Archive the full PDF with a matter ID or checksum and store the excerpt as its own artifact so you can prove exactly which pages circulated. If annex numbering restarts, attach a short note mapping printed numbers to absolute viewer positions.
