How to extract PDF pages

  1. Drop the PDF.
  2. Type the pages, or pick them from the thumbnails.
  3. Press Extract and download the new PDF.

What happens to your file

The pages you named are copied into a new document exactly as they are: text stays selectable, links and form fields on those pages survive, and nothing is rasterised or re-compressed.

The original is untouched; pages outside your selection are simply not in the result.

Questions

How is this different from Split PDF?

Split makes several files out of one; Extract makes one file out of the pages you choose. To drop a few pages instead, use Delete PDF pages.

Can I change the order while extracting?

Yes — pages come out in the order you type them, so "5, 1-3" gives page 5 first, then 1 to 3.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "pdf.pages",
    "options": {
      "pages": "2,5-7"
    }
  }'

The same operation, pdf.pages — One PDF of exactly the selected pages. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
