Feature Request - Can you allow me to select groups of pages inside a pdf and send to a new file?

Currently right now I have to create two files when breaking up files.

I know I can cut and paste but can you allow me to right click or add an option to send to a new file that I can name at the time of creation?

Currently right now, you allow me to extract but I don't have a lot of control. In the screenshot below, Adobe Acrobat decides to split out the files I've selected individually but that's not what I want. I need them grouped and I want to be able to assign a file name to it.

See Screenshots attached.

How do I rename the page they are extracted to? I see. At the save Adobe allows you to reduce size and give a new file name

You rename it like you would any other file on your system.

You can drag the selected pages to a folder (or even the desktop), and they'll be extracted as a single file. Then you just need to rename it.

Let's revisit this....

I have the options. I don't know why it was checked but this time it wasn't checked.

But when I do the extraction it only pulls out the files to clipboard or something (see screenhot)

Let me look at these other options. Extraction may not be the right menu/option I want to do.

Hi,

Can you not just uncheck the box next to "Extract Pages As Seperate Files" ?

That creates a separate file, and opens it, so a save as and I am sorted.

If that does not help then you can check for you feature here and vote it up or add it if you can't find it.

I wouldn't hold my breadth waiting for it though.

I don't have that option in Windows but I'll look again. I'll post what I have.
