I am looking for a Mac equivalent to Cute PDF

I know I can save a document as a pdf on my mac however with a PC if I had Cute PDF installed I could choose various pages from a PDF to "print" to another file on the desktop via cute PDF. This would actually just save the document with only the pages I wanted. SO for example I only need to email 7 pages of a 100 page PDF to someone as the other 93 are irrelevant. On my old machine I could, select the 7 pages, "print" these via Cute PDF and it would save a 7 page document for me to email.

Does anyone know of anything that can do this on a Mac?

Thanks

In Preview, us Command-Click to select just the pages you want to print in the Preview Sidebar.

Then Print, and click on the "Selected Pages in Sidebar"

Then use the Print to PDF option.

Below I am just printing 2 pages out of a 9 page .pdf via Preview

Bob thanks for your reply but I still don't see how this makes a new PDF of only the pages I want. It will print them no problems but not all me to save them to a PDF with a different name. Thanks anyway

Applications -> Preview, which is shipped with your Mac.

NOT Adobe Acrobat

If you want this feature in Adobe Acrobat, you will need to take that up with Adobe. I do not use Acrobat, so I do not know if the feature is there already, or if it is not.

Again, what I did, and the screen shots I provided were for Applications -> Preview

In the Print dialog box, you click on the PDF button and basically print to PDF JUST the pages you selected in the sidebar
