Windows 10: How can I split on page from a pdf in Microsoft journal

Hi, Microsoft How can I split one page from a pdf to pieces so I can write what I want between them in Journal app? Like the photo i inserted+ can I select any written thing in journal without circling them? Because I sometimes circle what I want but it doesn't get chosen.

:)

 

Best free PDF software?

I use:

• UnityPDF to merge/split PDFs and to insert/extract pages

• doPDF to create PDFs from any program that is capable of printing

• Foxit Reader to view PDFs and to type in them

 

Should I be able to use interactive pdfs in Microsoft Journal?

Hi SharonTumiati,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

We fully understand the inconvenience the issue has caused.

Microsoft Journal is primarily designed for freehand note-taking and drawing on digital devices such as the Surface Pro.

Journal allows you to insert a copy of a PDF into your notes and mark it up with ink. However, it does not mention anything about interactive PDFs or hyperlinks. It seems that Journal is not designed to support interactive PDFs at this time.

While you can insert PDF files into Microsoft Journal, it primarily treats them as static documents and does not provide full support for interactive elements like hyperlinks or form fields. The interactive features of your PDF planner may not function as expected within Microsoft Journal.

If you need to use interactive PDFs with working hyperlinks, you may want to consider using a dedicated PDF reader or annotator app that supports interactive elements.

If it is convenient for you, we sincerely invited to report your opinions or suggestions on the product to Microsoft.

Microsoft attaches great importance to user experience, you can submit your ideas and suggestions through the Feedback Hub, and the development team will regularly review submissions for ideas or fixes.

How to split PDFs

Hi MarkMcGuckin,

I am an independent advisor and a Microsoft user like you, and I would be happy to help you out with this.

One way to do this is to open the PDF file (for example, in Microsoft Edge, or Adobe Reader).

Then, you can go to File > Print, then select the "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer.

Choose the pages you would like to split from the original PDF, enter this in the Page Range you would like to print, and then press Print. You can then choose the location on where to save the new PDF with just the selected pages.

I hope this has helped you. If this is not what you are looking for, please reply and let us know and we would be happy to look into providing some different suggestions!

Regards,
