[Feature request]: Extract selected pages via thumbnail picker (support non-contiguous pages) #1201

Description

Hi! I’d like to request a feature that makes it easier to create a new PDF from selected (non-contiguous) pages.

Current behavior

The Split tool seems to be range-based and does not allow a comma-separated list like 1,3,7 (non-contiguous pages). This makes “extract these pages only” inconvenient.

Requested feature

Add an Extract Pages tool (or enhance Split) with a thumbnail page picker:

  • Show a grid/list of page thumbnails with page numbers
  • Tap to select multiple pages (non-contiguous)
  • Action button: Extract (N pages) → saves a new PDF containing only the selected pages (keep original order)

Optional improvement

Allow Split input like:
1,3,5-7 (comma-separated pages/ranges)

Why this is useful

This is a very common workflow (e.g., students sharing only a few pages). A thumbnail-based selection is much more user-friendly than typing ranges or splitting into single pages then re-merging.
