Print a pdf file from a large pdf file

Question

I'm trying to print, in a pdf file, just one page from another large pdf file. Does anyone have a clue? I'm using foxit reader, and when I try ctrl+P appears just the installed printers as an option to print. There is no print to file button like in other programs such as libreoffice. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use printer-driver-cups-pdf - this program creates a system pdf printer for you.

sudo apt install printer-driver-cups-pdf

will install and enable the printer.

The output from the printer by default, will appear in your home_directory/PDF (~/PDF)

Answer 2

An alternative would be to extract the required page with pdftk. E.g to extract page 10 of infile.pdf and save it as outfile.pdf:

pdftk infile.pdf cat 10 output outfile.pdf
