What to expect
How it works
The page expression is validated against the document length. Every-page mode creates one group per source page; separate-ranges mode treats each comma item as its own group; extract-one mode flattens the selection into one group and removes repeated page references. Each group is copied into a newly saved PDF.
Know before using
Limits and edge cases
- Encrypted files cannot be opened, and an empty, descending, malformed, or out-of-range page expression is rejected.
- Links aimed at pages outside an extracted group and document-wide structures such as bookmarks, forms, attachments, or signatures may no longer work as they did in the source.
