Learn to extract specific pages from a PDF to create a new document in Acrobat on desktop.
Extracting pages allows you to reuse selected content from one PDF in a new document. The extracted pages include all content, form fields, comments, and links from the original. You can leave the extracted pages in the original document or remove them during extraction.
Before you begin
Check if the PDF is editable. Go to File > Document Properties > Security tab to view any restrictions.
To delete individual pages, select the page thumbnail and then select Extract pages from the left pane.
To extract multiple pages, use the PAGES SELECTED field to specify which pages to remove. You can enter the number manually or choose an option from the dropdown menu.
Select Extract pages from the left pane.
In the pop-up box that appears, choose from these options:
- Delete pages after extracting: Removes extracted pages from the original PDF.
- Extract pages as separate files: Creates individual PDFs for each extracted page.
- Leave both unchecked to keep the original intact and create a new PDF.
Select Extract.
Note
The extracted pages are placed in a new document. Any bookmarks or article threads associated with pages aren’t extracted.
Save the new PDF when prompted.
