How can I extract specific pages from a large PDF without using Adobe Acrobat Pro? - SteveSmith23 - 04-10-2025
Yes, you can easily extract specific pages from a large PDF without using Adobe Acrobat Pro. You can try the 2 best ways to split your PDF file without using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The first way is free.
Free Method Using a Web Browser (No Software Needed)
Steps:
- Open Google Chrome (or any modern browser).
- Drag and drop the PDF into a new browser tab — it will open in the built-in PDF viewer.
- Click the print icon or press Ctrl + P (Command + P on Mac).
- Under Destination, choose Save as PDF.
- Under Pages, select Custom and enter the specific page numbers you want to extract (e.g., 2-4, 6, 10-12).
- Click Save. Choose your location, and it will create a new PDF with only those pages.
Keep in mind:
This method works best for small- to medium-sized files.
You must know the page numbers you want to extract.
It works offline and doesn’t require any sign-up or tools.
Paid method using the OSTtoPSTAPP PDF Split Tool (software needed)
If you regularly handle large PDFs or want more flexibility (like batch splitting, password-protected PDFs, or extracting by page range)
you can try the OSTtoPSTAPP PDF Split Tool.
- It’s a fast, secure desktop application that:
- Extracts any page range you choose (single, multiple, or custom sets).
- Works offline without any size or document limits.
- Keeps your data private with no online uploading.
- It’s a solid option if you work with PDFs often and want full control without relying on web-based solutions.

Sometimes you have to extract individual pages from a large PDF, and you don't always have the full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro at hand. I used a simple method through a browser, it works offline and does not require additional programs. For more professional work with files and large volumes, it is better to use specialized utilities. In such cases, adobe Acrobat Reader Pro download helps to get the necessary tools without any difficulties.
