Tips and Tricks for Operational Support to an Expansion Stage CEO

Are you an operational support person/executive assistant for a venture capital firm or an expansion stage CEO? Here is a great tip for you to use!

Have you ever had a PDF that was just too large to send as a single file? Have you ever had a PDF of which only a small portion was pertinent to your needs? I was reading the Professional Assistant blog again and came across a GREAT post on how to separate out specific pages from a PDF. The 4 simple steps to accomplish this are:

These instructions are for Adobe Acrobat: (taken directly from The Professional Assistant blog)

1. Click on Document, Pages, Extract.

   

3. Type in the first and last page that you want to create a PDF out of. For example, page 1 to 10.

    

5. Save this file to a new filename.
7. Repeat this step until all pages have been captured. For example, page 11 to 20, etc.

As an operational support person at OpenView Venture Partners, a Boston venture capital firm, I will use this trick/tip often. There are many times when we have a large PDF document and need to only send a small portion to an expansion stage CEO who is looking for investors.

Next time you have a large PDF, try this out!
