Keep the extract understandable on its own
A table on page 7 may depend on a heading or legend on page 6. Before extracting it, check whether the recipient needs that context too. Include explanatory pages where necessary, and inspect the beginning and end of the resulting file. Page positions start at 1 and include covers, so they may not match the numbers printed in the document.
One extract or many separate files
Extract creates one PDF containing the selected pages. Split has a different result: it puts individual page PDFs into a ZIP archive. Choose Extract for a short attachment that should be read as a unit. Choose Split when each page needs its own file. Neither choice rewrites references or printed page numbers within the selected pages.
Frequently asked questions
Are the other pages deleted from my original?
No. Your local source file remains unchanged. The downloaded extract is a separate document containing only the pages you selected.
Can extraction remove private details on a selected page?
No. It keeps the page's content. If a selected page contains information you need to remove, use redaction and inspect the resulting file before sharing it.
