Blank pages when drag out of PDF?
Wondering if anyone has encountered this... I have a book which was converted to a DRM free PDF format so that I could share selections with my students... When I try to drag pages out of it to create a new document (using Mac Preview) the pages in the new document are all blank.
I even tried it where I extracted them using a different program and at first they would open in Preview and I could read it, but then the next day when I opened it again the pages were blank. Any knowledge/theories/advice? P.S. This is my first post on this forum, I hope I haven't violated any rules or norms, please forgive me if I did. |

If your students will be using limited/flawed PDF readers then you may need to reprocess the extracted PDFs in a tool that would "simplify" the structure. One basic method it to print the desired sections of the original PDF to disk as a PDF file using the MacOS's built in service. To do this you click the "PDF" button in the standard print dialog after making the page range selection. |

It's strange, the pages that I "extracted" from the book using a website called smallpdf.com initially downloaded and were readable, but after about 15 minutes or so (and attempting to use the MacOS's method as you described) those pages are now blank as well.
