Multiple pages may be selected together in a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat.

Portable Document Format (PDF) files are conversions of printable source material created with a PDF writing program, such as the Adobe Acrobat programs. Because of the variety of content contained in PDF files, due to the range of the source material with which they are created, you may want to select different pages within a file. You can use Adobe Acrobat and Reader to select multiple pages within a PDF file by following a few steps.
