04 "So can you take things off of the Holodeck?" (Holodeck and Computers - Star Trek)

Yes. Any object replicated on the Holodeck may leave. Unfortunately,
it is sometimes hard to tell what is replicated, and what is not.
Snow, such as the snowball thrown by Wesley in "The Naked Now" is
easily replicated, and dampness is hard to simulate. The book thrown
by Picard in "Ship In A Bottle" [TNG] would be easily simulated by
force beams and thus was not replicated.

The paper in "Elementary, Dear Data" [TNG] was likely simulated until
the computer realized that it was going to be carried off the
Holodeck, at which point it would have been seamlessly replaced with a
replicated copy.
