Extract pages without opening thumbnails

[BrentCheeks]

Hello Support Community!

I deal with very large PDF documents and need to extract, save, and rename the files as quickly as possible.  I would like to be able to do this from the main document view window so I don't have to load all the thumbnails.  Is there a way to do so or an easy keyboard shortcut so I can just click to extract, ctrl+s to save, and immediately be back to the original doc?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Game_Haven,

I'm assuming that you mean multi-paged PDFs as opposed to pages that are very large in size?

If so, have you looked at the Organize Pages tool in Acrobat Pro DC? Here's a screenshot:

Here I've one page selected but you can either Shift-Click or Command/Control-click for multiple pages. The one thing that this does not let you do is to name it at time of creation. (That's a good idea BTW) but it does let you place the extracted documents to your desired location.

Does this do what you want/need?

Best,

Yes, this can be done using a script, like this (paid-for) one I've developed that allows you to simple enter the pages numbers (or ranges) of the pages you want to extract into a simple dialog window and it then extracts them as a new file.

You can even specify non-sequential pages, which can't be done using the built-in Extract Pages command.
