Guest Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Okay, if I have a PDF and it's a large file, and I really only need a single page from that file, is there a way to save just that page a single PDF file? My cell phone just can't load the entire Imperial Armor book that I need to reference a given unit. Plus, I have to shuffle throught the pages to find the file. Only way I can think of would be a screen shot when the page is open, then save the picture as a PDF. But then I have the screen in the shot. Likely a much easier, and better way. Suggestions? PS: Windows phone, so don't expect good app support to solve my issues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 PDFsam Basic (http://www.pdfsam.org/pdfsam-basic/) - Freeware on PC at least Allows you to break a PDF into separate PDF files in lots of different ways (I use it to chop pages out of documentation for inclusion in customer-facing documentation). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 You can also get a program that prints to pdf and just print that one page. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Calibre will let you save individual pages or a range of pages as regular image files. I've done that with the few FW Units I use regularly, so I don't have to lug a quarter-ton book along with everything else I need for a Game, just because I'm using a Lucius Pattern Drop Pod or a Sicaran.

InfestedKerrigan Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yes. I own all the books, too, and choose not to lug them around. Totally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I do the same thing as westrider. My last army needed: - Codex Space Marines - Codex Space Wolves - Curse of the Wulfen - Champions of Fenris I printed out some pages to chop some of those books out.

jollyork Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 You can open any PDF in Photoshop and it will ask which page you want to open. Open the one you want and then save it as a (whatever format you want, including PDF). One advantage of this approach is PS will retain all size and resolution settings for you. If you don't have PS, you can download a free trial and do this action in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally got a chance to test this. Love it. Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
