Extract single page from AutoCAD pdf

[michaelb63202905]

I can easily extract single pages from pdf files from many sources, but can not extract a single page from pdf files written by the AutoCAD LT writer.  The only page range options are Even, Odd, Landscape, Portrait, or All pages.  I'm on a Dell XPS 8930 Windows 10 desktop, using the current AutoCAD LT and it's pdf writer, and Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.  Is there a fix for this?

What exact steps (what do you click, what options do you choose) which lead you to this dialog with Even/Odd/Landscape/Portrait/All for page extraction.

I follow the same steps to extract as for all other pdfs.  However, with these AutoCAD pdfs after hitting the blue "Extract" button, instead of a file dialog box, a box pops up stating "Please enter a valid page range."  and the only available page range options are as noted in my first post.  There is no option for a single page, multiple single pages, or range of consecutive pages.  My work around for this has been to do a "save as..." then deleting the pages I don't need.  Pretty high tech stuff, eh?  So far this has only occurred with these AutoCAD pdfs so I will pursue this in an AutoCAD forum as well.  Thanks.

You need to enter the page label, not number.

An easier way of doing it is opening the Pages panel and dragging the page you want to extract to the desktop.

The page label of the page I select is displayed at the pull-down that's to the left of the "Rotate counterclockwise" button.  The pull down gives the Even, Odd, Landscape, Portrait, or All Pages selections, none of which apply.  However, your suggestion to drag & drop is a much better fix than my "work around".  Thanks much!

The light just flipped on...just figured it out: Open pdf.  Select "Organize Pages" tool.  Select "Extract".  Select "Delete pages..." or "Extract as separate files".  Put cursor in pull down menu to left of "rotate counterclockwise" button (current selection is highlighted, then goes away).  Type in page number(s), i.e. "3" (for a single page), or "3-6" (for a range of pages), or "3,5,8" (for a number of separate pages), hit blue "Extract" button.  File box pops up to put extracted file where you want.

That's why I asked you "What exact steps (what do you click, what options do you choose) which lead you to this dialog". Because there is more than one way to extract pages (at least two good, and one bad). But you just said "I follow the same steps to extract as for all other pdfs".

Under Tools > Organize Pages select the page and mouse click on Extract
