Selective resource copying
Extraction differs from splitting. When you extract, you often want to pull out a specific subset of data—perhaps just the invoice from a larger contract bundle.
Our process involves creating a completely new blank PDF and selectively copying the necessary page objects and their required font/image dictionaries over, ensuring a pristine output file.
Technical Details
| Resource Type | Copy Method | Notes |

| Images | Deep Copy | Compression is maintained |
| Annotations | Selective | Only annotations on extracted pages survive |
