My professor assigned a 40-page reading, but I only need to submit pages 12 and 13 for my homework tonight. How can I pull out just those specific pages into a new PDF?
I agree, digging through a long PDF for two pages is annoying. The simplest way is to open it in Chrome or Edge, choose Print, set the pages to 12-13, and select Save as PDF or Microsoft Print to PDF. On a Mac, Preview does the same in its Print dialog. Honestly, that usually keeps the layout better than opening the PDF in Word.
Easiest way: open the PDF, hit print, and pick Microsoft Print to PDF (Save as PDF on a Mac). Set the page range to 12-13, save, done. No extra software needed. Just double check the range before you hit save, I’ve grabbed the wrong pages more than once.
Open the PDF, choose Print, set the page range to 12-13, then select “Save as PDF” instead of a printer. Check the preview first, and avoid deleting pages from the original so you don’t lose the full reading.
