Can someone guide me on how to extract specific pages from a PDF without messing up the formatting?
I have a large PDF document, but I only need a few pages from it for a project. I tried using some online tools, but the formatting got messed up, fonts changed, and sometimes images shifted. I want a clean and reliable way to split or extract pages without losing quality. Any good suggestions?"

I would do this in Microsoft Edge:
- Open the PDF in Microsoft Edge.
- Click the Print button or CTRL + P.
- For Printer, select "Save as PDF".
- Under Pages, select the last option, to specify your own custom page numbers.
- Enter in your page numbers and/or ranges.
- Click Save.
- Open the PDF in Microsoft Edge.
Online tools can sometimes cause formatting issues, especially with complex PDFs. Desktop applications are generally more reliable for maintaining quality.
For best results, use desktop apps like Adobe Acrobat or PDFsam Basic to extract pages—they keep the original formatting intact and don’t mess with fonts or images.
PDF2Go is an online tool that can be used to split PDF files or maybe he can help you!
