How to use Extract Even Pages
- 1. Load the PDF. Drop your document into the workspace. The tool identifies every even-numbered page automatically, no configuration needed.
- 2. Confirm the page count. Check the thumbnail grid to see how many pages the document has, since that determines exactly which numbers count as even.
- 3. Download the even-pages PDF. Generate and save the file. It contains only pages 2, 4, 6 and so on from the original document, in their original order.
When to use Extract Even Pages
Extract Even Pages keeps only the even-numbered pages from a document, discarding the rest. It is most often used alongside its odd-page counterpart to split a two-sided scan back into its two sides.
- Separating the back sides of a duplex scan. A double-sided document scanned as separate front and back passes ends up interleaved into one PDF. Extracting the even pages isolates all the back sides for reordering.
- Pulling out every second page of a script. A script or workbook prints facing pages that only need to be reviewed on one side at a time. Keeping the even pages gives a quick partial view without the full stack.
- Isolating translation pages from a bilingual document. A bilingual document alternates one language per page, with even pages holding the translation. Extracting them gives a standalone copy in just that language.
