Remove Pages from a PDF

This deletes the pages you nominate and keeps everything else. On scanned batches it is mostly used to strip out separator sheets, blank backs and cover pages that were never meant to be part of the record.

How to Remove Pages from a PDF

  1. Upload the PDF.
  2. Enter the page numbers to delete, individually or as ranges.
  3. Apply, then download the reduced file.

When you would use this

  • Stripping barcode separator sheets out of a scanned batch.
  • Deleting blank reverse sides from a double-sided scan.
  • Removing internal notes before sending a document to a client.

Things to watch for

Deletion is not reversible in the output

The new file simply lacks those pages. Keep the original until you have checked the result.

Ranges are quicker than lists

Enter 5-12 rather than naming every page, especially on long scanned batches.

Blank pages have their own tool

Remove Blank Pages finds and deletes empties automatically, which is far faster on a duplex scan.

Page numbers shift as you plan

Work out every page you want gone against the original numbering before you start, not one deletion at a time.

Choosing the right tool

Removing and extracting are opposites, and choosing the right one saves work. Remove Pages keeps the document and drops a few pages. Extract Pages discards the document and keeps a few pages. If you are deleting more than you keep, extract instead.

Questions

Can I delete a range of pages at once?

Yes. Enter a range such as 5-12 rather than listing each page.

Is there a faster way to remove blank pages?

Yes. Remove Blank Pages finds and deletes them automatically.

Can I recover a page I deleted?

Not from the new file. Keep the original until you have checked the result.

Can I remove a range of pages at once?

Yes. Enter it as a range such as 5-12.

How do I remove all the blank pages?

Use Remove Blank Pages, which detects them for you.

Does removing pages affect the bookmarks?

Bookmarks may still point at the old positions. Check them with Edit Table of Contents afterwards.

Can I get a deleted page back?

Not from the new file. Work from the original.
