Selecting and Extracting Pages from a file
Why is it so difficult now to extract pages from a PDF? You used to be able to open thumbnails, click on a page, hold down on the shift key and arrow down to grab the pages you need to extract. With the update you now have to open thumbnails, click on the 1st page you want about 50 times before a little box pops up and then you have to click another 50 times to get that box to check and then to grab additional pages it's an exercise in futility. Why did you have to "update" Adobe when there was nothing wrong with it in the first place? Please regress back to the last version. This has made my job more cumbersome and less efficient. Please listen to us!

I totally agree! When I select (let's say) 3 pages, wherever I start there is always one page that's not included in the highlight even though it was clearly included. See attached -- I clicked outside page 1 and dragged down over all 4 pages. The first one is not included. Another thing that is incredibly annoying is that I'll be going through a 100+ page scan and highlighting the blank pages to delete and it's inevitable they all become de-selected even though my finger never leaves the Ctrl key. THAT is infuriating!

Hi, Thank you reporting the issue.
If you are in Modern Viewer where thumbnail panel in on the right. You can select one of the thumbnail (or the first one) and then do shift arrow to select the thumbnails. Once, selection is done you can right click on thumbnail and extract to extract all the selected pages. Alternatively, you can open "Organize pages" tool. There also you can use shift+arrow for selection and then right click to extract. In "Organize pages" tool you can input the selection range too and then click Extract icon.
We are working on improving the overall experience. Do look forward to our upcoming releases.
