Split, extract, or remove PDF pages: which tool should you use?

How these workflows differ

• Split PDF creates several documents from one source.
• Extract Pages creates one focused document from selected pages.
• Remove Pages creates one copy containing everything except the marked pages.

Use Split PDF for several output files

Split a report into chapters, divide a packet at known boundaries, or create smaller documents for separate recipients.

1. Open Split PDF.
2. Choose the page boundaries or ranges.
3. Create and review every output part.

Use Extract Pages for one selected subset

Extract a chapter, appendix, form, or evidence pages into one new PDF. The selected pages keep their original source order.

1. Mark the pages needed in the new file.
2. Open Extract Pages.
3. Create and review the extracted PDF.

Use Remove Pages when most pages should remain

Remove blank scans, duplicates, expired attachments, or unwanted pages while retaining everything else.

1. Mark only the pages to delete.
2. Open Remove Pages.
3. Confirm that the downloaded PDF still contains every required page.
