Pro Tips
- •Use the page range field to extract just a chapter or section.
- •Use the dashed-line separator if you want clear visual breaks between pages.
- •Word and character counts update live as you change options.
- •If the preview is empty, the PDF likely has no text layer (it's a scanned image). You'll need an OCR tool first.
