How to Extract Pages from a PDF in Android & iOS

When dealing with large PDF Files, sometimes you just wish to split relevant pages and separate those important parts to save into another individual file. Just like when you download an eBook and you want to save certain chapters from it, not the whole book. The process of extracting pages not only reduces the file size to easily share via email but also allows you to use the new file in Web pages, word processing documents or for PowerPoint presentations.

If you want to extract pages from PDF quickly and your desktop is out of reach, you can use your mobile device to do the task and fortunately it can be done without buying any PDF editors.

So, let’s see how you can separate PDF pages without taking help of any third-party utility.
