Set Page range
No matter which output file type you choose, you can set Page range. Choose to process all pages or a specific page range by typing in the desired page numbers and/or ranges separated by commas. For example: 1,3,5-10,25. To select pages from the end of the document, use the syntax last (last1 for penultimate page, etc.). For example: 1,5,last2,last1,last
Extract pages from multipage documents
By using the Page range setting, you can extract specific pages from multi-page documents and save them separately or as multi-page files. For instance, you can set Pages: 1 to save only the first page of each processed document, while all other pages will be omitted.

Alpha channel allows saving transparency. The difference between Grayscale and Monochrome is that grayscale mode preserves different shades of gray, and monochrome preserves only black & white colors.See illustration |
