How to extract pages from a PDF on iPhone and iPad
You need to send one chapter of a manual, the signed page of a contract or a single invoice from a long statement: extracting those pages gives you a small new PDF with only what matters.
When extracting is the right choice
Long documents are hard to share: an upload form wants just one page, a colleague needs one section, an email bounces because the file is too big. Extracting the pages you need gives you a small file with only those pages.
Extract, split or delete?
Extracting gives you one new PDF with the pages you choose. Splitting turns the whole PDF into several files. Deleting removes a few pages and keeps the rest. Pick the one that leaves you with less work.
The simplest way to extract PDF pages on iPhone and iPad
Extract pages in Unlock my PDF makes a new PDF with only the pages you choose. Type them, such as 2-5, or tap the thumbnails. You can also save them as JPEG images.

Good to know
Pages always keep their order
The new PDF follows the order of the original, even if you type 5, 2. To change the order, use Organize pages on the new file.
Several files instead of one
If you want to cut the whole PDF into parts, Split PDF is quicker: it makes one file for every range.
Protected PDFs
The app asks for the password you know, and the new PDF keeps it. To save JPEG images from a protected PDF you need Premium, because an image can't keep a password.
Questions

Yes. In PDF format the pages are copied as they are, with selectable text and the same quality.

Yes. Type its number, or tap just one thumbnail.
Is it free?
