What this set keeps

Odd and even PDF pages takes one PDF and a choice of odd or even. The download is odd-pages.pdf for the odd choice and even-pages.pdf for the even choice. The result is one PDF. The worker loads the file with pdf-lib and deletes the pages that do not match. Kept pages stay in the same document, in the order they already had. Counting starts at 1, so the first page is odd, the next page is even, and the third page is odd. Texts ONE, then TWO, then THREE become ONE and THREE in odd-pages.pdf. The even choice keeps only TWO in even-pages.pdf. The document title stays Keep Title. A link on a kept page stays, and a link on a removed page leaves with that page. This is not Split PDF, which writes a range into its own file. This is not Organize PDF, which asks you to delete pages by hand. This is not Duplicate PDF page, which inserts a copy. Nothing is rasterized.

The set runs in this tab with the open-source workers. The file is not uploaded. There is no GridFS copy. Open the network panel, drop a PDF, and that file should not appear as an upload. Closing the tab drops the copy. The browser downloads odd-pages.pdf or even-pages.pdf. A custom range is the Split PDF page. The Word page at /pdf-to-word uploads.

There is no page cap on this set. The tab has to hold the file. No account is required here. This set does not need a pass. A day pass is $6, charged once, for 24 hours, and it does not renew. A year is $60 for 365 days. Neither charge is required to keep odd or even pages here. The 20-page server cap is not this tool. That cap belongs to PDF to Word, OCR, and heavy compress.

An empty file stops with "This PDF could not be read." A file with no pages stops with "This PDF has no pages." Choosing even on a one-page file stops with "This file has no even pages." A file with no odd page stops with "This file has no odd pages." A choice that is neither side stops with "Name odd or even." A locked file, opened without its password, stops with "Expected instance of PDFDict, but got instance of undefined". Unlock PDF is the separate page. This page does not ask for a password and does not guess one.

Steps

  1. Drop the file. It stays in this tab.
  2. Set the one option on the page, if it has one.
  3. Download the result. Closing the tab drops the copy.

Questions

Which pages stay?

Odd keeps the first page, then the third page, and so on. Even keeps the second page, then the fourth page, and so on. The count starts at 1. A one-page file has an odd page and has no even page. Choosing even on that file stops. Split PDF is the page for a custom range.

Is the PDF uploaded?

No. The set runs in this tab. The file is not uploaded. Open the network panel, drop the file, and the PDF should not appear as an upload. Closing the tab drops the copy. You get odd-pages.pdf or even-pages.pdf, and PDF to Word is the page that uploads.

Do the words and the link stay?

Yes, on a kept page. Text that says ONE stays when the first page is kept. Text that says TWO stays when the second page is kept. Text that says THREE stays when the third page is kept. The document title stays Keep Title. A rotation of 90 degrees stays. A link on a kept page stays.

Does this set need the $6 day pass?

No. A $6 day pass lasts 24 hours, is charged once, and does not renew. A $60 year lasts 365 days. Neither charge is required to keep odd or even pages here. The 20-page server cap is not this tool.
