Extracting is the inverse of deleting: instead of naming what to lose, you name what to keep. For anything where the keep list is shorter than the drop list — three pages out of ninety — it is far less typing and far less error-prone.

The order you type is the order you get
Typing 5, 1, 3 gives you those three pages in that sequence, which quietly makes extraction a reordering tool as well. For a short document, it is often faster than opening an organiser.
Ranges work the same way as everywhere else: 3, 7-9 keeps four pages, and everything unnamed is left behind.
Extract, split or delete?
- Extract when you want a few pages as one new document — the signature pages of a contract, one section of a report.
- Split when you want the whole document broken into several files at once.
- Delete when you are keeping nearly everything and dropping a handful.
All three copy page objects rather than re-rendering them, so none of them costs you quality. The choice is only about which is less work to describe.
One page as its own file
Naming a single page gives you a one-page PDF — the usual precursor to converting that page to an image, since a one-page conversion downloads directly instead of arriving as a zip.
