HOW TO extract sets of pages from a PDF document or web page to a new PDF

There are free tools like PDFRider that let you manipulate PDF files and do things like extracting only some pages from a PDF document & packaging them into a new PDF. But why bother installing tools when Google Chrome browser can do that for you.

Chrome can open not just web pages but also local PDFs. You don't need a PDF reader anymore if all you generally do is scroll through them.

With the Print option of Chrome, you can save any web page as a PDF. What's more, you can extract sets of pages from a PDF document or specific pages of a web page to a new PDF by specifying page ranges separated by a comma.

This is not a common use case but remember when you face such a scenario, you don't need any other utilities.
