How to use it
Open one unencrypted PDF. Enter pages such as 1,3,5-8. Build PDF and Download. Pages outside the document, empty entries, and duplicates are refused.
Example
Unlike Split PDF, this builds a single document. Page order follows your list.
Input
1,3,5-8 on a 10-page PDF
Result
extracted.pdf with pages 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in that order
How it works
PDF-lib copies the listed pages into a new document in list order. Ranges expand left to right. The source file is not modified.
Common errors
- Page 12 is outside 1-10 The status line shows the page count. Remove pages past that number.
- Page 2 is listed twice Repeats are refused so the export order stays unambiguous.
- The PDF is encrypted Unlock it first if you have the password.
Limitations
Encrypted PDFs, files over 15 MB, and documents over 200 pages are refused. This tool does not OCR or rasterize pages.
Privacy
The file stays in your browser. PepsTools does not upload it, store it, or send it to another service. Clear the tool or leave the page to drop it from memory.
Questions
How is this different from Split PDF?
Split downloads each range as its own file or ZIP. Extract builds one PDF with the pages you listed.
