in this short tutorial Im going to show you how to say one page of a PDF so for instance say you download something from the internet that has something like 54 pages and you want to save one page of it what we can do here is open it up in preview app which is for Mac users only so if youre on Windows I apologize this video is not going to apply to you once youre in the preview app what you need to do is make sure that um nails is enabled if you have a high side bar enabled you wont see that so youll need to come in here to thumbnails scroll down to the page you want to see and simply drag it onto your desktop like so the benefits of doing it this way are that you only get the single page and you retain all of the quality of the PDF some other options are uploading the PDF to a web browser and then having it pull it out and youre gonna sacrifice some of the quality of the PDF by doing it that way so by doing it this way you can just pull out one single page save it and do with it
