Advanced Guide to Page Extraction Rules

Our extraction engine supports highly flexible page operation logic. You can combine "include", "range", "countdown", "odd/even", and "exclude" rules like building blocks to precisely extract any page collection you want.

๐ŸŒŸ 1. Basic Pages and Ranges

  • Empty string - Smart Default: When nothing is entered, all pages of the document are extracted by default.
  • 5 - Single page: Extracts only page 5.
  • 1, 3, 5 - Multi-page selection: Use commas to precisely extract pages 1, 3, and 5.
  • 1-10 - Continuous range: Extracts everything from page 1 to page 10.
  • 10-1 - Reverse extraction: Extracts and reorganizes pages 10 to 1 in completely reverse order.

๐Ÿ”„ 2. Dynamic Positioning and Countdown

No matter how many pages the document has, you can easily target the end without knowing the exact total page count.

  • 15-end (or 15-z) - Dynamic range: Extracts from page 15 until the last page of the document.
  • -1 (or r1) - Last page targeting: Extracts the last page (1st page from the end).
  • -5 (or r5) - Countdown single page: Extracts the 5th page from the end.
  • -5--1 (or r5-r1) - Countdown range: Extracts the 5 continuous pages from the 5th to the 1st page from the end.
  • -1--5 (or r1-r5) - Countdown reverse: Extracts the last 5 pages in reverse order.

โœ‚๏ธ 3. Smart Odd/Even Page Splitting

  • even - Global even: Extracts all even pages in the entire document (2, 4, 6...).
  • odd - Global odd: Extracts all odd pages in the entire document (1, 3, 5...).
  • 1-100:even - Local even: Extracts even pages only within the range of pages 1 to 100.
  • -10-end:odd - Dynamic local odd: Extracts all odd pages in the last 10 pages of the document.

๐Ÿšซ 4. Blacklist Exclusion (Ban Syntax)

Add ban or ! before a rule to trigger exclusion logic. When you only write exclusion rules, the system automatically uses "all pages" as the base for cropping.

  • ban5 (or !5) - Single page exclusion: Extracts all pages, but drops page 5.
  • !10-20 - Range exclusion: Extracts all pages, but hollows out pages 10 to 20.
  • !end (or ban-1) - Exclude last page: Extracts all pages except the last one (often used to remove the back cover).
  • !even - Attribute exclusion: Excludes all even pages (equivalent to keeping only odd pages).

๐Ÿš€ 5. Ultimate Combination "Black Magic"

The engine first merges all "include" rules, then precisely deducts "exclude" rules, and finally auto-deduplicates to help you complete extremely complex tasks:

  • 1-50, !10-15, !20
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Scenario: Extract the first 50 pages, but skip pages 10-15 and page 20.
  • even, !-3-end
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Scenario: Extract all even pages from the entire text, but absolutely avoid the last 3 pages (even if they contain even numbers).
  • 1, 3, 5, 10-end:even, !-1
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Scenario: Extract pages 1, 3, 5, plus all even pages from page 10 to the end, but firmly exclude the last page.
  • 1-10, 1-10
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Scenario (Auto-deduplication): Even if rules overlap, the engine automatically deduplicates to safely output pages 1-10 without generating redundant pages.
