- Extract the chosen pages with PDFsam Basic.
- Open the smaller PDF and check order and orientation.
- Print from your PDF viewer, selecting paper size and duplex options there.

For the task prepare selected pdf pages for printing, start with a duplicate of a small, nonconfidential PDF. Follow the steps using a separate destination path, then open the saved output in your usual PDF reader.

If you need to change the words inside a PDF page, add OCR, or compress scanned image data, do not assume those features exist in PDFsam Basic. Compare the separate Visual and Enhanced editions before selecting a product.
