Hello,

can I extract every second page or all even-numbered pages from a document ?

Regards,

Franz

Or the tumbnail panel - I have that open most of the time anyway, so it’s straight forward to export one or a few pages with just a mouse click. If you want to export every other page, arrange the thumbnail pane so that you see two pages next to each other, then draw a selection rectangle around the even numbered pages, click on one of the now selected pages and select to “Extract Pages”.

On the “Organize Pages” toolbar there is a Page Selection dropdown, and an extract button.

Use Organize Pages for this. There you can select all even pages.

Hello @Karl Heinz Kremer,

and how can I arrange the thumbnail pane this way that I see two pages next to each other ? Is there a special method or have I do this manually ?
