To save only certain pages of a PDF, there are several effective methods depending on the tools available:

Using a PDF Editor or Viewer (Built-in Desktop Tools)

  • Open the PDF in a PDF editor or viewer like Preview on macOS or Microsoft Edge on Windows.
  • Choose the Print option.
  • In the Print dialog, select "Pages" or "Page Range" and specify the pages you want to save.
  • Change the Printer or Destination setting to "Save as PDF" or "Microsoft Print to PDF."
  • Save the resulting file, which will contain only the selected pages.

Using Online PDF Splitter Tools

  • Upload your PDF file to an online splitter tool (e.g., Adobe Acrobat online, iLovePDF, Smallpdf).
  • Use the interface to select the exact pages you want to extract.
  • Extract and download the new PDF containing only those pages.

Using Adobe Acrobat DC (Paid Software)

  • Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat DC.
  • Use the "Organize Pages" tool.
  • Select the pages you want to extract.
  • Choose the "Extract" function to create a new PDF with those pages.
  • Save the new file separately.

Using the Snipping Tool or Snapshot Tool (For capturing page images)

  • Use the Snipping Tool on Windows or Snapshot Tool in Adobe Reader to capture a page visually.
  • Save the snapshot as an image or convert it to PDF if needed (less precise than other methods).

These methods allow saving one or multiple specific pages from a large PDF as new smaller files without altering the original document.
