How can I share a single page of the pdf or other documents in iOS?

From time to time I need to share a single page from a pdf on iPhone or iPad into some chat in a fast way.
The shared page is supposed to be printed, so it should be of good quality. I open pdf's from the "Files" app in a standard viewer.
The fastest way I know is to take a screenshot and remove black borders, but the resulted image has pretty poor quality. There are many tools which can split pdf into parts, but it is way too long operation when you need to share a page on a call. I believe there should be some fast way of one-page sharing similar to printing only the range of pages.

The trick with "Print" on iOS

  1. On opened document click Share ->Print
  2. In Printer Options select Range and choose pages you need to share
  3. Now you need to scroll pages carousel to the chosen pages (this part is most annoying when you have 10+ pages, and the hell for 100+)
  4. Pinch out one of the chosen pages (you can't pinch unchosen pages, this is why you should scroll to the first chosen one)
  5. You will see another preview screen with only chosen pages with the Share button
  6. Now you can share these pages wherever you want

pros: shares one or multiple pages in original quality cons: pretty tricky for big documents

It took me a while to figure out the “pinch out” part. But I stuck with it. And it worked! Very handy (for shorter documents)
