About Remove Pages
Blank scan sheets, a cover page you would rather not send, a page with a signature that should not be in the copy: deleting a few pages is a common cleanup before a PDF goes out. Type the page numbers to drop, and the line under the box tells you which pages and how many of the total will be removed before you commit. Everything else is kept, in order, in a new file.
Features
- Live preview of which pages will be removed
- Single pages and ranges in one entry
- Refuses to remove every page, so the result is never empty
- Remaining pages keep their order
Limitations
- Pages are identified by number only, with no thumbnails. Use the organize tool if you need to see them first.
- At least one page has to remain in the document.
- Files over 50 MB are refused, and a password-protected PDF has to be unlocked first.
- Saving pages-removed.pdf needs a free account.
How it works
- Add the PDF; the page count shows next to the file name.
- Type the pages to delete into the Pages to remove box, for example 2, 4-6.
- Check the line under the box, which lists the pages that will be removed and how many of the total that is.
- Select Remove Pages, then download pages-removed.pdf.
Example input
2, 4-6Frequently asked questions
- Type that page's number, such as 7, into the Pages to remove box and select Remove Pages. The hint under the box confirms what will go before you press the button, and the other pages are saved unchanged.
- Yes. Mix single pages and ranges separated by commas, like 2, 4-6, 9. Overlapping entries count each page once. An entry such as 5-2, or a page past the end, is rejected with a message and nothing is changed.
- No. The new PDF is assembled from the pages you kept, so the removed ones are not carried along. This is page deletion, not redaction: any text you want hidden on a page you keep stays exactly as it was.
- The tool stops with a message that you cannot remove every page, because the result would have no pages at all. Leave at least one page out of the list and run it again.
