How to quickly save individual pages of a PDF with a Splitter Tool.
Adobe Acrobat’s online splitter tool does exactly what it says on the tin. Easily separate your PDF into multiple files and save just one page of a PDF in four simple steps.
Open Adobe Acrobat. Access Adobe Acrobat online and navigate to the Split PDF tool.
Upload your PDF. Click ‘Select a file’ or drag your PDF into the drop zone to upload your file. Once uploaded, Acrobat will prompt you to sign in.
Organise your pages. Use the scissors tool to set the divider lines and organise the pages you want to separate.
Confirm your selection. When you’re satisfied, click ‘Continue’, select a folder, and then choose whether to save one page of a PDF, or multiple pages.
How to extract and save just one page of a PDF.
Perhaps you want to extract one page of a long book in PDF form for a presentation, or you’re looking for client approval on an image change on a magazine cover. Whatever the reason, you can save one page of a PDF with the Acrobat extractor tool.
1. Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat online and click ‘Edit’ in the top menu bar. Here, you can view and select particular pages by clicking Organise pages. As you can see, this PDF has multiple pages, but let’s say we want to select page 10 and save it as a single PDF document.
2. Click ‘Extract pages’ in the menu at the side of the document. The icon will then highlight, allowing you to execute the command.
3. Select page 10 by ticking the box in the top left-hand corner. The border of the box will turn blue to show that you have chosen it . A checkbox will also appear near the top menu bar with the number of pages selected.
4. Now you are ready to extract and save your single page PDF. Click the Extract pages button marked blue in the sidebar.
5. If your original document is large, you may be asked to wait while your single page is extracted. Once ready, page 10 will appear in its own window or tab as a single page. From here, you can click the three dots on the top right of the menu bar, then Download this file.
There you have it: five simple steps to extract and save one page of a PDF.
As you master this tool, you will discover how to save a range of certain pages of a PDF too—for example, every other page, a cover and table of contents, or just advertisement pages.
Why save just one page of a PDF?
There are several reasons why you might only save one page of a PDF. This format serves different purposes in business and education and is often used for reports, projects and more. Saving one page of a long-form PDF offers even more flexibility.
Let’s take a look at some other key reasons and benefits.
Simplifies sharing. When you save one page of a PDF, you extract only the necessary information. This enables faster sharing between colleagues, whether it’s via email, Google Drive or Adobe Acrobat.
Enhances presentations. Putting the right PDF page in your PowerPoint presentation can make your slideshow stand out, showcase an important piece of work, and entertain and inform your audience.
Saves space. Storing large files on company systems can be counterintuitive – especially if they’re filled with excess information. A single-page PDF can help you to save space and improve data efficiency.
Increases focus. Scanning through lengthy pages of meeting agendas or marketing materials can be a chore. But when you save one page of a PDF, such as a page of key takeaways, you can eliminate unnecessary information, reduce distractions and improve productivity.
Improves collaboration. Sending a single relevant page instead of an entire document streamlines communication and provides clarity. For example, sharing a one-page contract agreement of specific terms without revealing confidential details.
FAQs.
How do you merge PDFs?
In many ways, merging or combining PDFs is the opposite of extracting. It allows you to combine the most pertinent pages into one easy-to-handle document. Once you save more than one page of a PDF on Acrobat online, select your files, rearrange the PDFs if needed, then click ‘Merge’. Once you sign in, you can download or share your merged PDF.
How do you add a page to a PDF file?
If you want to add your single PDF page to a new document, you can easily do so with Adobe Acrobat. To add a page to a PDF, simply click Select a File to upload the PDF you want to lengthen, then sign into your account. You will see a thumbnail view of the pages in the document. Select where you want to insert the new page, then choose the PDF page you want to add. Select Save to keep your changes.
How do you rotate a PDF page?
It’s easy to rotate your PDF page s once it’s been saved as a separate file. Sign in to Acrobat Online and upload your PDF document. Next, choose the page – or pages, if it’s a larger file – that you want to rotate. You can choose to rotate the pages either clockwise or anticlockwise. When you’ve finished rotating, select Save to keep the changes you’ve made.
