Tech Tips
Tech tips: sometimes they're really boring, but they can often be super helpful. This one's pretty simple, you probably already know it if you use Acrobat. It's useful if you have a large PDF document but only need one page from it and want to save it separately. For example, I needed a rubric from a Regents exam to include in a unit plan. This specific tip applies to Adobe Acrobat; your school computer lab should probably have it loaded if you don't have it on your own computer.
Extract pages from a PDF file
In Acrobat, select Document > Extract Pages
Then type in which pages you want to extract in the "Select pages to extract" box
I chose the "Extract Pages as separate files" to save the selected page(s) as a new file
I think this option is only available to the Adobe Acrobat full license ($299) retail.
Most schools/business' should have a seat of it floating around but the Adobe Reader that is downloaded for free doesn't have this option.
I use Adobe Acrobat Standard at work to combine pdf's which is really helpful as well. For instance you could create documents in both word and excel, print them to pdfs and then combine them into a single document.
