How to delete pages from a PDF, including blank pages

Open Delete PDF pages, click each page you want gone so it shows Removed, then press Download PDF. The pages you did not mark stay in their original order, and your original file is not changed.

Steps

1. Open Delete PDF pages and drop the PDF onto the box, or click to choose it. Every page appears as a preview.
2. Click each page to remove. It fades and is marked Removed. Click it again to keep it.
3. To mark a run of pages, click the first and Shift-click the last.
4. Or type the pages under Or type page numbers, such as 2, 4-6. The box and the grid stay in step, so you can type a range and then click a few more.
5. Check the count under the pages, for example "12 pages to 9 pages".
6. Press Download PDF to save the trimmed copy.

Quick ways to pick pages

The panel heading counts what you have marked, such as "4 of 12 pages marked". You cannot remove every page; at least one has to stay.

Removing blank pages

There is no automatic blank-page detection, so nothing is dropped unless you choose it. Blank pages are easy to spot in the previews. In a double-sided scan where every back page is empty, Even marks them all in one tap; look over the grid in case one back page has writing on it, and click that page to keep it.

What the trimmed file keeps

The remaining pages are not redrawn. Their text, images and fonts stay exactly as they were, so the trimmed file usually gets smaller roughly in line with what you removed. Fillable form fields, links and bookmarks on the pages that stay are kept. Fields that sat only on removed pages go with them.

Delete, extract or split

• Delete removes the pages you pick and keeps the rest.
• Extract keeps the pages you pick and leaves the rest out. When you want 3 pages out of 40, Extract PDF pages needs fewer clicks.
• Split cuts the file into several PDFs without dropping anything. See Split PDF.

To remove some pages and reorder or rotate others in the same pass, use Organize PDF pages.
