Two ways to choose pages
Tap the thumbnails. Every page is shown as a small picture with its number. Tap one to select it — it gets a tick — and tap again to let it go. The range box fills in as you tap, so you can see your selection written out.
Type a range. Commas separate the parts and a hyphen means “from … to”, so 1-3, 5, 8-10 selects pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. Numbers beyond the last page are ignored, and a range typed backwards, such as 7-4, is read as 4 to 7. Leave the box empty to mean every page.
One file or many
Save selected as one PDF puts the chosen pages into a single file named extracted.pdf. Pages always come out in their original order, whatever order you tapped them in.
Each page separately downloads one file for every chosen page — page-3.pdf, page-4.pdf and so on. Your browser may ask whether this site can download several files; allow it, or only the first one arrives.
Common jobs
| You want to | Do this |
|---|---|
| Delete page 2 of a 10-page PDF | Type 1, 3-10 and save as one PDF. Whatever you leave out is dropped. |
| Keep only the first page | Type 1 and save as one PDF. |
| Cut a PDF into two parts | Save 1-5, then change the range to 6-10 and save again. Both downloads are called extracted.pdf, so rename them as you go. |
| Break a PDF into single pages | Leave the range empty and press Each page separately. |
| Send one chapter of a long document | Type its page range, such as 24-41, and save as one PDF. |
Things to know
- Quality. Pages are copied, not re-drawn. Text stays selectable and pictures stay sharp.
- Order. Splitting cannot rearrange pages. To change the order, use the Pages panel of the PDF editor, or extract the parts and merge them in a new order.
- Password-protected PDFs. Remove the password first.
- Bookmarks. The outline of the original is not carried into the extracted file.
How do I split a PDF or extract pages?
Open ManyHand PDF, load your PDF on the Split tab, select pages or type a range, then save them as one PDF or separate files.
Can I save each page as a separate PDF?
Yes — choose "Each page separately" to download one file per selected page.
Is it private?
Yes. Splitting runs in your browser; your document is never uploaded.
How do I delete pages from a PDF?
Select every page except the ones you want to remove — for example type 1, 3-10 to drop page 2 — and save the selection as one PDF.
Does splitting change the quality of the pages?
No. Pages are copied as they are, so text stays selectable and images keep their quality.
Can I extract pages in a different order?
No. Extracted pages keep their original order. To rearrange pages, use the Pages panel of the ManyHand PDF editor.
