AI Thread Summary
To save only a portion of a PDF file, users can utilize various freeware programs designed for PDF editing and splitting. Searching for "divide PDF file" yields multiple options, including tools like PDF Hammer and PDF Escape, which allow for selective saving of document sections. When dealing with large files, such as a 400-page document, these programs generally handle size well, but users are encouraged to explore multiple editors if any issues arise. It's important to ensure that references within the LaTeX document remain intact when only part of the file is compiled.

I have a pdf file and I need to save to disk only part of it, not the whole document. Does anyone know how to do that?

I have the LaTeX file and I can of course LaTeX only part of the file but the problem is that the references in the part that I LaTeX are then not working since they refer to equations that have been commented out. So need to LaTeX the whole thing to get the references right. But I need to save only part of the file. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, we can only save an entire PDF document, not just part of it.

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance

When finding one for me, I used "pdf editor" and also found an online editor other than the divider.

Just a quick question. At one point I will have to edit a 400 pages long document. Will these programs handle such a large file?

Thanks again!

The size of the PDF shouldn't matter much. If PDF Editor has a problem, there are tons of other PDF editors out there... FoxIt, etc.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
