Introduction
Picture this: You just got sent a massive graphics-heavy PDF - we're talking over 100 pages.
It's all interesting, of course, but a couple of those pages are filled with information specifically vital to your role, the kind of stuff you need to reference constantly.
Unfortunately, because of its size, the file takes forever to open and lags when you scroll through it.
Day after day, you're forced to deal with this gigantic and unwieldy file that slows down your workflow and makes you want to throw your computer out the window.
Focus on what matters most
Well, I'm Sarah and I have good news, Adobe Acrobat's Organize pages tool will let you extract those important pages into their own file and make your life a whole lot easier.
In Acrobat's All tools menu, select the Organize Pages tool and open the file in question.
In this example, we're going to use this Branding Guidelines document.
We love the story this document tells about our brand and the details about why we made all the decisions that we did, but all we really need for our day-to-day work
Select and extract specific pages
is this one page with the updated color palette on it.
So, what we're going to do is select that page and then click here on the Extract pages button in the sidebar.
In this menu, we're given the option to delete the page out of the original file after extraction - not necessary in this case - and to extract the selected page out into a separate file.
We're going to check that box and then click Extract.
Acrobat will ask us where we want to save the new file.
And once we've picked that out and clicked OK, we'll have our brand-new file.
Now, whenever we need to reference the brand's updated hex codes, we can open the new, much smaller and more manageable PDF and get right on with our workday.
You're welcome.
