How the range syntax works

A range is written with a hyphen between the first and last page, so 5-12 means pages 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, inclusive of both ends. Commas separate items, so you can mix ranges and single pages in the same field, for example 5-12,20,25-27.

The pages come out in the order you list them, and the tool checks each item against the total page count so you cannot accidentally ask for a page that does not exist. If a range runs past the last page, it flags the problem before you extract rather than failing halfway through.

This is the efficient way to lift a whole section out of a document. Instead of clicking twelve thumbnails or typing twelve numbers, you describe the block once and the tool does the rest, keeping every page at its original quality.

How to use this tool

Pro tips

Get better results with these expert suggestions:

1

Ranges are inclusive

Typing 5-12 includes both page 5 and page 12, so there is no need to adjust the end number.

2

Mix blocks and singles

Combine them freely, such as 5-12,20,25-27, to grab several sections and a stray page at once.

3

Order follows what you type

List ranges in the sequence you want them to appear, since the tool preserves that order.

4

Watch the upper bound

The preview shows the total page count, so keep the end of your range within it to avoid a validation error.
