When should you delete pdf pages?
Remove selected, blank or duplicate pages while keeping the remaining pages together in one PDF.
This task is useful when preparing documents for work, study, records or online submission. Before processing, keep an untouched copy of the original PDF and check any file-format or page requirements given by the recipient.
PDFora provides this workflow in a browser, so you can start from a desktop, tablet or mobile device without installing a separate desktop PDF application.
How to delete pdf pages with PDFora
Open the PDFora Delete PDF Pages page and select the document you want to process. Follow the available on-screen controls and wait for the tool to finish. Download the generated file when processing is complete.
Use these steps as a checklist:
- Open Delete PDF Pages and upload a copy of the original document.
- Enter individual page numbers separated by commas or a range such as 6-8, using the PDF viewer's page count.
- Process the document, download the result and check the first, middle and final pages.
Check the result before sharing
Open the downloaded file in a PDF reader and review the pages affected by the operation. Check page order, text, images, page dimensions and any important signatures or references. Compare the output with the original if the document is important.
Printed page labels can differ from viewer page numbers. Keep the original file and confirm that no required page, signature or attachment was removed.
If the result is not what you expected, do not overwrite your source file. Recheck the selected pages and settings, then try again with a fresh copy where appropriate.
