How to Delete Pages From a PDF Easily
A quick guide to removing unwanted pages from a PDF — blanks, mistakenly scanned sheets, or sections you'd rather not share — while keeping the rest intact.
When do you need to delete pages?
The need to delete PDF pages comes up constantly: a duplex scanner produces blank pages, a cover or ad page you don't want in the final copy, or a section with internal information the recipient shouldn't see. Instead of rebuilding the file from its source, you can simply remove the specified pages and keep the rest.
How to specify which pages to delete
Open the Delete Pages tool and upload your file, then type the page numbers you want to delete. You can enter single numbers separated by commas like 2, 5, 8, ranges with a dash like 3-7, or mix them like 1, 4-6, 10. After clicking the delete button, you get a new file without those pages, with the remaining order exactly preserved.
If your goal is the opposite — keeping only specific pages and discarding the rest — the Extract Pages tool is faster, since you type what you want to keep rather than what to remove.
