Optimizing Digital Textbooks for Study Sessions

Opening a massive 1,000-page PDF on an iPad or laptop during class often causes page delays or app crashes when jumping between index and chapter pages.

Step-by-Step Chapter Extraction:

- Look up the weekly reading page range (e.g., Chapter 4: pages 112 to 148). - Use Extract Pages to pull out pages 112-148 into a standalone 15MB file. - Name the file Biology_Chapter4.pdf for fast access and smooth annotation.
