Appreciation post: That trick for splitting a PDF without downloading software actually saved me today

Honestly I've been fighting with a 200 page contract file all week trying to pull out just the signature pages. I tried using the print to PDF thing but it kept messing up the formatting. Then my coworker Jake said why not just use the browser's built in PDF viewer and the 'print pages' trick. You literally just open the PDF in Chrome, hit print, change the destination to 'Save as PDF' and type in the page numbers you want. It took me 30 seconds. I had been messing with sketchy online tools for like an hour before that. Has anyone else found a dumb simple workaround that you wish you knew way earlier?

Maybe it's just me but everyone forgets you can do this with Google Drive too.

Dropped my phone in a puddle last month and Drive saved all my contacts.
