Split a PDF and extract only the pages you need

Pull a handful of pages out of a long report, statement or scan and save them as their own PDF. You pick pages visually from thumbnails, so you never guess at page numbers.

Extract pages without exposing the rest

Splitting is often a privacy decision in itself. You need to send page four of a bank statement, not all twelve. You need one section of a medical report, not the whole history. Uploading the entire document to a server just to extract one page defeats the purpose of extracting it.

docu4all keeps the whole operation local. You see every page as a thumbnail, tick the ones you want, and download just those as a new PDF. The pages you did not select are never written into the output and never leave your machine.

This is also the quickest way to break a large document into smaller ones: extract a range, then repeat for the next range.

How to do it, step by step

1

Open the PDF

Drag the document in. Every page appears as a thumbnail in the left rail.

2

Switch on Extract

Click Extract. A checkbox appears on each page thumbnail.

3

Tick the pages you want

Select any combination of pages, not just a continuous range. The counter shows how many you have picked.

4

Download the selection

Click Download selected and you get a new PDF containing only those pages, named after your original file.

Splitting versus deleting pages

There are two ways to end up with a shorter document, and which you want depends on the result you are after. Extract builds a new PDF from the pages you tick and leaves your working document untouched, which is ideal when you need to send a few pages to somebody.

Deleting pages from the thumbnail rail removes them from the document you are editing, so the next full download excludes them. Use that when you are cleaning up a document for your own use, for example dropping blank scan pages or a cover sheet before signing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract non-consecutive pages?

Yes. Tick any combination of pages, for example 1, 4 and 9, and they are saved together into one new PDF in that order.

Is the original file changed?

No. Extracting builds a new PDF and leaves your working document as it is.

Is my document uploaded to split it?

No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser, so nothing is transmitted.

What is the extracted file called?

It is named after your original document with -extract added, so report.pdf becomes report-extract.pdf.
