i have a book which is 600 pages and 10 chapters , i want to split it into 10 PDFS , what i do is simply i print the chapter pages for example (from page 1 to 60) for the first chapter and then save it as PDF , when i open the document i can't select any text like if i was all the pages are screen shots , and ofcourse i can't highlight the text.

how can i overcome this problem ? i use adobe acrobat reader DC

    i did that , then i have 2 buttoms , 1 split and 1 extract , what i want to do exactly is i want to select from the entire document specific pages from like (50 to 100) and save it as a single pdf , when i make split , it split the whole book to 50 pages so i get many PDFs
