UlvixorExtract PDF Pages
When you only need one chapter, a signed form, or a handful of attachments from a long PDF, there's no need to send the whole document: mark the pages you want to keep and this tool builds a new PDF with just those, preserving their original order. All of the work — thumbnails via pdf.js, assembly via pdf-lib — happens in your browser.
How it works
- Load the PDF; a numbered thumbnail of each page appears so you can identify which ones you want to keep.
- Click the thumbnails of the pages you want to keep; each selected one is highlighted with a border.
- A counter shows how many of the total pages you've marked for extraction.
- Click 'Extract selected pages' so pdf-lib copies only those pages, preserving their original order, into a new document.
- Download the result as extracted-pages.pdf.
Use cases
- Pull out just the chapter or section you need from a long PDF.
- Extract a form's pages that you need to resend without the rest of the file.
- Isolate a handful of evidence pages or attachments from a lengthy report.
- Keep only the signed pages of a contract to archive them separately.

Common mistakes
- Clicking 'Extract selected pages' without marking any thumbnail.The button stays disabled until you select at least one page, and the function also rejects an empty selection with the error 'Select at least one page'.
- Expecting extracted pages to keep the order in which you clicked them.The result's order is always the document's original order, not the order in which you clicked the thumbnails.
- Confusing this mode with deleting pages and mistakenly marking the pages you want to discard.Here you select what you want to keep, not what you want to remove; the 'X of Y pages selected' counter helps confirm your selection before processing.
Frequently asked questions
Always in the order they appeared in the original document, regardless of the order you marked them in.
Yes, just mark one thumbnail and click 'Extract selected pages'.
No, the original file isn't altered; a new document is generated that you download separately.
No. Neither the thumbnails nor the resulting document pass through a server: pdf.js and pdf-lib do all the work directly in your browser.
Alternatives
Adobe Acrobat and macOS's Preview app can also save a subset of pages as a separate PDF. This tool offers the same thing without installing software, available from any browser with a connection.
