Extracting Pages
Extracting is the opposite of merging. By extracting pages from a document, you can turn a single document into multiple documents.
Extracting is useful when you inadvertently (or intentionally for that matter) scan multiple documents as one document, or when you decide that a very large document should be broken up into smaller pieces, and individually named.
- Open the document and go to the thumbnail view.
- Select the page(s) you wish to extract by left-clicking on the page image.
- To select multiple consecutive pages, click on the first page, hold down Shift and click on the last page.
- To select non-consecutive pages (eg. pages 1, 3, and 5) highlight the first page, then hold down Ctrl and click on each of the other pages.
- Select Extract Pages from the context menu (note that selecting Delete will permanently delete the selected pages from the document - they will be sent to the Trash folder).
- You will see the following dialog:
- Name the new document as desired in the New Document Title text area.
- Indicate the Document Date if desired.
- Select Move Pages to remove the pages from the current document and create a new document.
- Select Copy pages to leave the current document intact, while creating a new document consisting of copies of the highlighted pages (note annotations will not be copied).
- You will be prompted to select the folder where you want the new document to be created.
Note: If you do not select a folder, by default the new extracted document will be placed in the same location as the source (original) document.
- The new document will be saved to the folder you specify.
