I have a 120 page PDF and I only need pages 5 to 9 as a separate file. I do not have Acrobat. What is the quickest way?

Your web browser can do it.

1. Open the PDF in Chrome or Edge.
2. Press Ctrl + P to print.
3. Set the destination to Save as PDF.
4. Under Pages choose Custom and type 5-9.
5. Click Save and name the file.

On a Mac, open the PDF in Preview, show the thumbnails, select pages 5 to 9, and drag them to the desktop. They become a new PDF.

In Acrobat, use Tools > Organize Pages, select the pages and click Extract. Browser printing may drop some interactive features, like form fields and bookmarks, but for plain pages it is fine.

Chrome print to PDF did it in one minute. Thanks.
