Key Capabilities
Local Execution
The document structure is parsed locally in the browser. You select page ranges or individual pages, and our engine creates new standalone PDF binaries instantly.
- •Use commas for multiple ranges like 1-5, 8, 11-14.
- •Preview thumbnails to verify exact page numbers.
- •Specifying page numbers higher than total pages will produce an error notice.
Page Tree Decomposition & Range Extraction Architecture
Custom Range Tokenization
Our range parser evaluates complex expressions (e.g. "1-3, 5, 8-10") directly in memory. It verifies page boundaries against the document catalog before constructing output sub-documents.
Independent Resource Dictionary Cloning
When pages are extracted, associated font descriptors, images, and shading dictionaries are isolated and copied into the new container, ensuring extracted pages remain visually self-contained.
Burst vs Range Splitting
In burst mode, each page is emitted as an individual standalone PDF file and bundled into a standard in-browser ZIP archive without sending any data over external networks.
- •Page numbers are 1-based matching standard document conventions.
- •Extracted sub-documents preserve original vector typography and embedded images at 100% fidelity.
- •Files requiring passwords must be authenticated prior to extraction.
