Adobe Acrobat's PDF document format allow users to read word processing documents and view images without the software used to create the file. PDF files are used to exchange files. PDF files are cross-platform and software independent.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional. The Adobe Acrobat program is not free, but the older versions are relatively inexpensive. The full version of Acrobat is needed to extract pages; you can't do it with the free Acrobat viewer software.

  2. Step 2

    Extract the page. This is done by selecting the extract option on the toolbar. The single page is now a new file. The rest of the pages are still available if you need to extract any other pages.

  3. Step 3

    Save the file. The "Save file as" option can save the file as a word processing document. This new document can be saved and sent to others to share.

  4. Step 4

    Highlight the text as another means to extract a portion of a PDF document. Select "Edit" from the toolbar. Click on the "Select All" function. Copy the text and past it into a word processing document. This also can be done by right clicking and dragging the cursor down the page to select all.

  5. Step 5

    Zoom out in the View option until the page fills the screen. Using the Print Screen function, copy the page. Paste it into a word processing document or a graphics program to extract the page from the PDF file.
