At work or at school, you may need to send documents to other people. However, in some cases, you'd need to send them just one page of a PDF. You must be wondering, "Is that even possible? How to send one page of a PDF?" The answer is yes, it is possible. In fact, there are 6 effective ways to send just one page of a PDF to others. For example, you can use Wondershare PDFelement to extract and send the page. Continue reading to find more information about these PDF-sharing methods.

Part 1. Scenarios When You Want to Share Just One Page of a PDF

Before we proceed to the PDF-sharing methods, let's discuss why you'd want to do it. In what scenarios will you need to send only a specific page of a PDF? Here are some examples:

File Size Reduction

Suppose you are sending a PDF via email. You should know that there is a file attachment limit. Usually, your attachments can't be bigger than 20-25 MB. So, what do you do when it is larger than that? You can compress the PDF. But if only one page is important, you can extract that page and send it instead.

Confidentiality

Sometimes, you'd create a multipage PDF, but each page is for a different person to see. Let's say you outlined tasks for John on page 1 and for Mark on page 2. Mark doesn't need to see page 2, and John doesn't need to see page 1. So, you would want to send just the page that's specifically for them. It matters even more when the document contains confidential information.

Excerpt

If you are an author, you'd need to send excerpts of your book. You should not send the whole book when someone is asking for a sample. In this situation, you can take one page of the PDF. Preferably, choose a part that will pique the curiosity of the recipient. It will make them more likely to buy and read your book.

Specific Subjects

A PDF can cover a large topic, and the pages can cover the subtopics. Maybe the conversation revolves around one of the subtopics. Instead of sending the whole PDF, you should send just the page that covers that. It will make it easier for the recipient to find the relevant information.
