Bring up your source PDF in Acrobat.  Click the Thumbnails tab so that you see representations of the individual pages.  On the source document right-mouse click the page you want, choose Extract... and the page(s) you want.  It will create a new PDF document that you may then File -> Save.

I don't know if this would work, but you could try to bring up the source document, choose File -> Print.  Select a print range that only includes the page you want then select the Adobe PDF Writer as the output printer.

So the OP can try the second suggestion.  It may actually work.

Okay, so in having this dialog we've highlighted for the OP and others who are searching for problem resolution that...

* Adobe Reader does not have this feature

* Adobe Acrobat has this feature

I might then suggest that he/she take the document into Google Documents and manage/save it in this manner.

Personally I like Adobe Acrobat and think it's worth the price if you do enough work with it.  When, however, simple tasks are removed from the teaser version I think that it may be worthwhile to do any (free) work-arounds that are available.  Years ago it was difficult to find this functionality unless Adobe was providing the solution.  Now that's not the case.  I would suggest that Adobe start rolling more features into the teaser version as well as fixing what appears to be a variety of problems that affect PDF developers.

Good thinking.  I have a Mac, too, and often print to PDF from it as well.  I'd not thought of this as an option (printing a selection or the current page) but that sounds like a great work-around.

I just keep coming up with more and more things that Adobe Acrobat 5 could do (like create/edit forms) that Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 can't do.  I'm working at someone's desk now who has Acrobat Professional 7 and it can't simply add form elements to an existing PDF document.  It forces you to use another program by Adobe like Designer.  And then in Designer when you attempt to import the same PDF it then barfs and destroys the graphic elements that were embedded in the original form.

How can a company get this bad in the span of a few years?  Earlier versions worked simply and well (enough).  The new stuff routinely won't do the most simple tasks.  This is ridiculous.

If you're on a mac forget about Acrobat on Lion (maybe even Snow Leopard and Leopard too). I ran into this issue on Lion so here I am....

you have to go through the routine of "printing to",, With Acrobat go to the printer preferences panel > select pdf, select save as pdf... only to find you cannot and get some even more riduclous and useless pop up telling you to chose file save as.... which only lets you save the entire document! Utter

waste of time and space...and not what you are after.

Solution... Open the pdf with Preview, then Cmd + P will bring up the same dialog box mentioned above with pdf down bottom left... First enter the page number into the pages option's From dialog... eg From 40 to 40 (= page 40 only) then hit the pdf bitton and dave as,,, Works perfectly with Preview but no chance with Acrobat!!!! I am starting to get the feeling that this product is fast becoming redundant as it seemingly is not up to basic operations such as printing or saving off a single page anymore. Plenty of freeware solutions are now available on the net - some of which I am quite sure would handle this... but since preview is installed on mac by default.... why not?

After all this have a good think abou whether you will or even need to Upgrade Acrobat the next time round. It seems the more 'advanced' Adobe get the more useless certain products are becoming.... Don't know if it's just me...

UPDATED Sept 11

Seems there is a way to print a single page with Acrobat X.. but not at all as straightforward as mentioned above...

You need to go View>Tools> Extract, then select the page you want and save it as a seperate pdf. Then open the new pdf and print that... Wonderfully intuitive on Adobe' s part....

How about…..

Open a PDF document in Reader.

Click the "Tools" menu. Click "Select & Zoom," then "Snapshot Tool." Use this tool if you want to save individual pages containing text and images.

Click the "View" menu, then "Zoom," then "Fit to Page." This will ensure the Snapshot tool captures the entire page.

Click anywhere on the page you want to save. Click "OK" when prompted to confirm the selection has been copied. The page is automatically copied to the clipboard as an image.

Open a blank document in another application, such as Microsoft<http://www.ehow.com/how_7157308_save-individual-pages-adobe-reader.htm l> Word or WordPad. Click "Ctrl+V" to paste the image of the PDF page. Save the document.

Yeah I’m sure there is something easier. Even if you have to export it to Microsoft, you can still save the page as a PDF

That is true…Im telling you I will figure it out .. just give me a few!!

If you go to "Document," there is an "Extract Pages..." option that lets you pull out exactly the pages that you want from the rest of the pdf file. Once you extract the specific pages that you need, you may save them seperately and you will be good to go!

Um...no. There isn't. That option requires Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader which the original poster is discussing.

If I had any power around here, I would close this thread. The same suggestions have been offered several times since 2008, including the ones involving the use of Acrobat.

What bothers me is to see the same off the wall suggestions posted again and again...
