I need to pull three pages out of a PDF on my phone, but everything I’ve tried asks for payment before saving. Is there a free splitter that works well on mobile? ---

Honestly I skip splitter apps. Open the PDF, choose Print, set the page range to those three pages, then pick Save as PDF; on iPhone you can pinch out on the preview to save or share it. Works from the built-in viewer or Google Drive too. ---

I had the same trouble trying to pull a couple of pages from an ebook on my mobile. I use [pdfcap.com](http://pdfcap.com) now since it runs in your phone’s browser without paying: 1. Upload your file to their split tool. 2. Type in the page numbers you want. 3. Tap split to download them. ---

Just use the print function built into your phone. Open the file, tap print, select only the three pages you want, and choose to save as a PDF instead of sending it to an actual printer. Avoid downloading random free apps from the store because they just spam you with adverts. I learned this the hard way when trying to separate my market invoices on the go. ---

On an iPhone you can actually do this with the built in Files app or the Photos/Markup share sheet, select the pages you want in the PDF preview and export just those. On Android, Google Drive’s PDF viewer has a similar page selection option when you print to PDF. Learned this the hard way after paying for an app that watermarked everything. ---

@reid21 Same here, print to PDF never asks for payment. The page range box is fussy on my Android though, not sure if it’s the same on iPhone. ---

@emily.7 On Android, try entering the pages as comma-separated numbers, like “2, 5, 7”, rather than a range. If the box still misbehaves, opening the file in Google Drive or Chrome before choosing Print usually makes the page selection work better.
