When you say extract, it means to get something. By definition from Merriam Webster dictionary, it means to draw forth, pull or take out with force and to obtain by much effort from someone. With PDF files, extraction is withdrawing selected pages from one PDF to reuse them as another PDF bringing with it its content, format, links and even with photos. Just like in Word processors or PowerPoint, this process is like a page-level copy-paste activity and can be selected based on your preference.
