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.

When you'd use it

  • Removing the blank pages a duplex scan added
  • Taking a draft's cover sheet off before circulation
  • Dropping the pages of an appendix that must not go out

Limitations

  • 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`.

Can I undo it later?

The tool generates a new PDF, so keep your original if you may need it again.

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.

What happens to your file

Your file is never uploaded or stored.
