The Files app on an iPhone can view a PDF and even reorder pages, but pulling a handful of pages into a brand new file is fiddly, and the App Store is full of PDF apps that want an account and a subscription before they will export anything.

The hardest part of extracting pages on a phone is knowing which page numbers you actually need, because a PDF opened as an attachment rarely shows you clear page markers. Guessing wrong means extracting the cover instead of the contract, or missing the signature page entirely.
FixTools renders the PDF in the browser before anything is sent for processing, so you can page through the document on the iPhone screen and read the real content of each page. Once you are sure of the numbers, only then does the extraction run. That preview step turns a blind guess into a quick visual check, which is exactly what you want when the screen is the size of your palm.
Open Extract PDF Pages in Safari, tap to upload your PDF, and swipe through the preview to find the pages you need. Type them in the pages field, tap Extract, and download the new PDF to your iPhone.
Step-by-step guide to extract pages from a pdf on iphone:
Open the tool in Safari
Tap the link to launch FixTools Extract PDF Pages. It loads as a normal web page, so there is nothing to download from the App Store.
Upload your PDF
Tap the upload area and pick the PDF from Files, iCloud Drive, or a recent email attachment saved to your phone.
Preview the pages
Use the Prev and Next buttons to flip through the preview and note the numbers of the pages you want to keep.
Type the pages to extract
Enter the pages in the field, for example 1-3,5,7-9. The tool checks the range against the page count as you type.
Extract and download
Tap Extract, then Download to save the new PDF to your iPhone. The uploaded copy is deleted after processing.
Common situations where this approach makes a real difference:
Forwarding one section
A commuter receives a 40 page report by email and needs to send only the three page summary to a colleague, straight from the phone.
Boarding pass or ticket
A traveller pulls the single page with their ticket out of a long booking confirmation PDF to keep it handy.
Signature page
Someone extracts just the page they need to sign from a long agreement, so they are not scrolling through the whole file later.
Receipt for expenses
A freelancer saves the one invoice page from a bundled statement to attach to an expense claim.
Get better results with these expert suggestions:
Note the numbers as you preview
Flip through the preview first and jot the page numbers down, so you can type the whole range in one go without going back and forth.
Use ranges to save typing
A run of consecutive pages is quicker as 4-9 than as 4,5,6,7,8,9, and both give the same result.
Rename before you share
The downloaded file lands in Files, so give it a clear name before you attach it to an email.
Keep the original
The source PDF is untouched, so hold on to it in case you need a different set of pages later.
