How can I extract pages from a PDF? The Tools menu is missing.

I used to be able to extract pages from my PDF file. I don't see the tools icon anymore. How can I access the tools icon?

Hi lenm,
To extract pages, you need to use Acrobat (not Adobe Reader). As I can attest (because I do have both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same computer), it is quite easy to open files in Reader when you mean to open then in Acrobat. So, please make sure you have the right app open. (I pull this one all the time!)
Now, if the Tools menu is missing from Acrobat, choose View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Show Toolbars to make them reappear.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How Can I extract pages from a PDF document into a separate document by clicking a link?

Hi,
I have created a large PDF document with several pages, I have a link symbol on the contents page of the document that relates to several services on different pages within the document. Currently they are identified by having the same link symbol on every page that relates to that particular service. I was wondering if there was any way in which I can create a interactive pdf, when I click the initial symbol link on the contents, it collates all the relevant linked service pages into a single document or guides the viewer to all the pages without having to create a separate pdf document for each service?
Many thanks
Yunus

Simple answer - no. PDF files cannot reassemble themselves into new documents, nor can you hide pages.

You can extract pages with Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

Hi timk,
None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.
Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)
If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.
Please let us know how it goes!

How do I extract pages from a PDF?

I am trying to extract pages from a pdf document through Adobe XI and the command is not there through page thumbnails or through tools. What can I do? We have the current version which I verified through checking for updates.
[Please choose only a short description for the thread title.]

"Adobe XI" does not exist.
There is Acrobat XI (Standard or Pro).
There is Adobe Reader XI.
Acrobat XI Pro (and maybe Standard) can extract pages from a PDF.
Adobe Reader XI cannot extract pages from a PDF.
Once either application is open it is easy to determine which you have open.
The "name" is in the top most "ribbon" of the application window.
From what you've written it appears that you are using Adobe Reader XI.

How do I extract pages from a Secured PDF file

How do I extract pages from a Secured PDF file?

Adobe would call that hacking, and don't allow discussion of it in this forum. You should contact the copyright holder and see if they are prepared to release the password, or an unsecured document, to you. If it's something made for you like a bank statement you should tell the bank how inconvenient their choices are.

How can I extract pages and maintain links.

I have a catalog index several pages long and all links to various pages in rest of catalog.
I want to extract those pages with the links to the pages intact and insert into a modified version of same catalog. Page numbers remain exactly the same.
When I extract the pages the link appears to be there(hand changes to finger pointer), but the action has been removed. When you click you go nowhere.
How can I extract these pages and re-insert with links intact?

How can I extract page with showing the e-sign signatures?

How can I extract page with showing the e-sign signatures? When I extract pages, the e-sign signatures are all disappear. Or can I save the documents without verify the signatures? When I open the documents, it need verify the signatures and then open it now.

Hi Ada,
The thing you have to realize is when using Acrobat or Reader to create a digital signature you are signing the whole document (all of the bytes in the document). You are not signing just the page where the signature appearance resides.
Another thing to realize is the signature appearance (what you see on the page in the signature field) is not the signature itself. The signature proper is a block of hex encoded bytes written into the PDF file and not something you see (unless you open the file in a text editor). What you see on the page is just a graphical representation of the actual signature, but it's not the actual signature.
When you extract a page (even if it had the signature appearance on it) it is just a sub-set of the signed bytes, and if the signature were to be extracted as well it would be invalid because the bytes in the extracted file would not match the bytes in the signature. Because the signature in the extracted document would always be invalid we just remove it.

In Reader, you cannot. In Acrobat control-shift-D (Windows) or command-shift-D (Mac). If you tell us what version of Acrobat and your OS we can give you a gui way to do that, but it changed between versions 9 and versions 10.
