Extract pages as separate PDFs

Page-level extraction — pick pages, get each as its own file. Useful for routing per-page, building archives, or sending selectively.

You need pages 3, 17, and 42 of a long PDF as three separate files — one each for three different reviewers. Sending the whole document and asking them to find their pages is rude. Pulling each page as a standalone file respects everyone's time.

Flint extracts to separate files.

Range extraction with one-page ranges

Open split PDF, drop the file, switch to range mode. Type '3, 17, 42'. Flint produces three single-page files: page-3.pdf, page-17.pdf, page-42.pdf. Download as a ZIP. Each is a standalone PDF you can send independently.

Different page sets per recipient

If reviewer A needs pages 3-5, reviewer B needs page 17, reviewer C needs pages 42-50, run three separate extracts. Or do them all in one with multi-range — Flint produces one file per range. Output: file 1 has pages 3-5, file 2 has page 17, file 3 has pages 42-50.

Naming conventions

Default filenames include the page range. For sendable files, rename with reviewer-relevant names: 'Reviewer-A-pages-3-5.pdf', 'Reviewer-B-page-17.pdf'. Set a custom prefix in Flint or rename after download.

Combine related pages into one file

Sometimes the reviewer needs multiple pages but as one file, not separate ones. Use 'combine into one' mode in split PDF. Specify the pages; Flint produces one PDF containing exactly those pages (no whole-document baggage).

FAQ

Can I extract every page as a separate file?

Yes — that's split into single pages. Different mode, same idea.

What about page labels in the output?

Each extract keeps its original page label. Page 17 of the source shows as page 17 in its own file's indicator.

Are extracts identical to the source pages?

Yes. Content, fonts, images, all preserved. No re-rendering.

Maximum number of extract operations?

Hundreds, in one operation. No practical limit.
