Technical Limitations & Device Performance
Because ToolNest executes in your web browser rather than remote cloud servers, performance depends directly on your device hardware:
Encrypted PDFs
PDF files with password restrictions must be decrypted before page extraction can proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract non-contiguous pages (e.g., page 1, 4, and 7)?
Currently, you can extract custom contiguous ranges (e.g., 2–5) or split all pages individually so you can select the exact pages you need.
Does splitting remove bookmarks or searchable text?
No. ToolNest preserves vector fonts, annotations, and OCR searchable text contained within the extracted pages.
