How to Save Only Certain Pages in a PDF:

Many PDFs associated with district curriculum programs contain large PDFs of student workpages. To save only a few of these pages and assign them as a Kami assignment, teachers will mostly likely want to only assign the needed pages. This process allows teachers to do just that!
