    Heya! I'm trying to find a way to extract pages from huge pdf reports. For one of my classes I got like a read sheet of 50 different articles - but usually just a select few pages from a pdf.. Like 30 pages out of a 600 page OECD report or so.

    I was wondering if anyone knew a program or a way to create new pdf files with for example just page 15 to 45 from a report. This way it will make printing a lot easier and I don't have to search in a document each time I want to read it on my computer...

    Any suggestions on how I might do this?

    You can do this using preview. Save a blank page from word or something as a pdf. Open it and the document you want to extract from. Enable the side bar view. Then select the pages you want (in sidebar) and drag those into the blank pdf (sidebar). This will copy across just those pages. you can then delete the first blank page and save as.
    Hope this helps
