Extract Pages from PDF

Extracting pages from a PDF is useful when you need to create a subset of a document, share only specific content, or reorganize PDFs for presentations, reports, or printing. Using Aspose.PDF for Python, developers can programmatically extract pages from a PDF file and save them as a new document.

Learn how to use the extract method of the PdfFileEditor class. By specifying a list of pages to extract, you can generate a new PDF containing only the selected pages while preserving the original content and formatting.

1. Create a PdfFileEditor Object.
2. Define Pages to Extract.
3. Extract the Pages.

import aspose.pdf as ap
import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades

import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))
from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


# Extract Pages from PDF
def extract_pages_from_pdf(infile, outfile):
    # Create a PdfFileEditor object
    pdf_editor = pdf_facades.PdfFileEditor()

    # Define the page numbers to be extracted (1-based index)
    pages_to_extract = [1, 4, 3]

    # Extract the specified pages from the PDF document and save to a new PDF document
    pdf_editor.extract(infile, pages_to_extract, outfile)
