Specify which pages to extract
Press OK
Pages you specified will appear in a new document
You can save this under a new file name
This is all in the help section..search for 'extract pages' -

rcraighead Mar 14, 2009 7:54 AM (in response to (shivajiv))I used this method to extract pages from a Illustrator CS4 file and they appear as single pages in Acrobat, but when opened in AI, all pages are still in each file. I'm looking for a simple way to export individual pages from an AICS4 multi-page PDF. -

scottvk1965 Feb 18, 2010 12:12 PM (in response to (Jason_Yord))I am using Acrobat 8.0 I don't have a "pages" either. But you should see "Extract Pages" under the Document drop-down list. It work perfect for me and saved a lot of time. Glad that Adobe had the foresight to build in this function.

Stewart_Macarthur Apr 27, 2010 8:37 AM (in response to (shivajiv))1 person found this helpfulI have Acrobat 9. When I click on the ‘Document’ option in the toolbar, I click on ‘Extract Pages’. It then asks me to specify what pages I want to extract and gives me 2 check box options. The first asks if I want to delete the pages after I extract and the second gives me the option to extract each page to an individual file.
Hope this is helpful to someone... :o)

optaira espejo Jul 2, 2010 1:52 PM (in response to (Deena_Youssef))1 person found this helpfulThis worked perfectly. Only one thing, if you open the pdf on ilustrator again all the pages will still appear, to avoid that make sure you unchecked the "preserve illustrator editing capabilities" before saving your illustrator file into pdf.
Hope it helps

Math_Nerd13 Aug 30, 2010 12:38 PM (in response to (shivajiv))I am on Reader 9.3 and I don't see pages or extract pages under documents. Is it because we only have Adobe Reader and nothing else?

12. Re: Save multipage PDF into separate pages as PDF files
monkeyspankin Aug 30, 2010 4:43 PM (in response to Math_Nerd13)You need any of the Adobe Acrobat products; not Adobe reader. Adobe Reader is the free lighter version of Acrobat from Adobe without all the bells and whistles of Acrobat. I used Acrobat at work to break my pages since I too have only Adobe Reader at home. Yeah it sucks I know. You might try the library, work, etc.for a computer with Acrobat. You can pick it up pretty cheap on ebay or craigslist.

13. Re: Save multipage PDF into separate pages as PDF files
bsnyder02 Sep 15, 2010 7:22 AM (in response to (shivajiv))I was able to accomplish this using a free online service called www.splitpdf.net. You simply upload the file and tell it which page you want extracted. It then returns a pdf containing only the page you selected. Unfortunately, you have to repeat this step for each page you need to extract but it's an easy process.

15. Re: Save multipage PDF into separate pages as PDF files
Vigorkk Feb 15, 2011 6:13 PM (in response to (shivajiv))I don't have Acrobat,too. I don't think it is convenient enough to split PDF pages, see you have to find the page you need then extract it repetitively one by one. To split PDF into single page, I think there is also a better program. A smart PDF splitter will take you out of painstaking manually splitting.
It will do the rest for you automatically.

18. Re: Save multipage PDF into separate pages as PDF files
bigjake1 Sep 15, 2011 11:39 AM (in response to (shivajiv))I found a much faster drag and drop option that allows you to split up a pdf document, by dragging a page or multiple pages into any folder you want... so much faster!
I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9:
-Go to View--> Navigation Panels--> Show Navigation Pane (The navigation pane should pop up on the left hand side, and shows small tiles of each page in your pdf).
-Now select the Hand Tool (it looks like a white glove)- located in the menu at the top (if you don't see it, go to View--> Toolbars--> Select and Zoom and it should appear in the toolbars at the top).
-With the Hand Tool activated you can grab a page from the navigation panel and drop it into any folder or onto your desktop; to grab more than one page, click in the grey area surrounding the small tiles and you can drag over more than one, also try using the shift key to highlight pages that aren't side by side.
Hope this helps!
PS: You can do this on a mac computer without using Adobe; its a built in feature of the document preview software that comes on macs.

Each page is single report for a person (different person each page) and that persons name always appears in the same spot at the top of the page, right below the title.
I'd like to split the document into 175 PDFs AND have each filename contain the persons name. Can this be done using Acrobat Pro 9? If so, how?

24. Re: Save multipage PDF into separate pages as PDF files
j.doug.turner Dec 22, 2011 9:27 AM (in response to j.doug.turner)Ok - I think I found an answer. You wan to "Split Document" rather than extract page. If you are using Acrobat 9 - go to document Menu and come down to Split document. You can make it 175 pages, 1 page at a time. In fact, if you have entered Employees Names (in your example) as booknarks, you can name each of the files after the employee. Email me if you have a problem douglas.turner@me.com.

25. Re: Save multipage PDF into separate pages as PDF files
SC201 Jan 9, 2012 10:32 PM (in response to (shivajiv))I discovered another way (I have the trial version of Adobe Reader) to split pages if you only want a few of them. You open your multipage document and then go to the top of the menu where it says "View." Click on "Two Page View." Now scroll to the page you want to separate. Then go to "Edit" and click on "Take a Snapshot." Click on the page you want to separate out. It will tell you that "The page has been copied." Now paste it into a Word Document and save it as a PDF.
It's complicated but it works.

27. Re: Save multipage PDF into separate pages as PDF files
AlROEMY Apr 12, 2012 7:40 AM (in response to (shivajiv))Another great way in Acrobat Pro, is using the "Document" -> "Split document" function, where you can specify how big the files should be, or how many pages each file should contain.
Just had a specific case, whit 176 pages, that needed to be split into 4 pages per pdf - took 10 sec.

bolton_schoolteacher Nov 11, 2012 2:46 AM (in response to Razi121)Here is how I did it very easily in Acrobat X Pro on a Mac:
1. Open the document to be split into separate pages.
2. Select: Tools / Pages / Extract.
3. Enter the page range to be separated.
4. Check only the box 'Extract Pages As Separate Files' and OK.
3. Select a destination folder and click 'Choose'.
Job done.

rwhsppt Feb 12, 2013 11:57 AM (in response to (shivajiv))If you are using Adobe Reader and you have a mac, you can extract each page using Preview. Make sure the sidebar is visible, select the page you want to delete (in the sidebar) and choose Edit > Delete Item.
I haven't found a way to do this on a PC using Adobe Reader.

31. Re: Save multipage PDF into separate pages as PDF files
Kiran30 Feb 13, 2013 10:34 PM (in response to rwhsppt)If you have just Adobe reader, then best way is to open the pdf in Google Chrome.
First, Make sure you have enabled Chrome PDF viewer extension
Open PDF in chrome
Right click the page and select print
On the print dialog that comes up, change the destination to “Print to PDF”
Now instead of selecting All radio button to print/save all. Select your page range and then print.
Note this will work with PDF's that are compatible with Chrome
hope this is helpful.

Did you ever figure out how to save separate, specific pages from a PDF file? It seems the only way I can do it, is be forced to purchase subscription from this company! Really upset I downloaded newest version.
I was doing fine with the old one and I did not have to buy anything!
