Why page extraction requires care
Extracting a single page from a 100-page document isn't just about deleting 99 pages. The document catalog might contain shared resources—fonts embedded once but used everywhere, or shared image dictionaries.
Our client-side splitting tool traces the dependency graph for the specific pages you request, ensuring that the resulting smaller PDF contains exactly the resources it needs and nothing more, optimizing file size without corruption.
Technical Details
| Scenario | Required Action | Resulting File |
|---|---|---|
| Single Page | Extract Page N | Smallest possible file |
| Range | Extract N to M | Medium file, shared resources kept |
| Odd/Even | Extract pattern | Useful for double-sided printing prep |
