What Delete Pages does
Remove pages from a PDF. Scanners are the usual culprit: a blank sheet picked up from the feeder, a duplicate caused by a misfeed, or a cover page the recipient does not need. Deleting them before submission avoids the awkward explanation of why page four is empty.
The tool builds a new PDF containing only the pages you kept, copied in their original order with their content, fonts, images and annotations. What is not copied is the document-level material: bookmarks (the outline panel), attached files and the document's title and author fields. Links that pointed to a deleted page have nowhere to go and will do nothing when clicked.
Page numbers in the range field are the positions in the file, not the numbers printed on the pages — in a report with a cover and contents, printed page 1 is often file page 3. The page count shows after upload so you can check. Pages that are not listed are kept; the tool refuses to produce an empty document.

Limitations
- Bookmarks, attached files and the document's title/author fields are not carried into the new file.
- Deleting a page removes it from the page tree but does not strip resources (fonts, images) it shared with other pages, so the file does not always shrink proportionally.
- Page numbers printed on the remaining pages are not renumbered — they are part of the page content.
Questions
How do I enter multiple pages?
Use a pattern like `2,5,8-10`.
Are the page numbers renumbered afterwards?
The pages simply follow one another in their new order. Any page numbers printed inside the document are part of the page image and will still show the original numbering.
Can I undo a deletion?
Not within the tool — it returns a new file with those pages absent. Keep your original until you have checked the result.
Does removing pages shrink the file?
Usually yes, roughly in proportion to what the removed pages contained. Dropping image-heavy pages saves far more than dropping text-only ones.
