How to use Delete pages
Remove unwanted pages from a copy of a PDF.About delete PDF pages
Remove unwanted pages from a copy of a PDF. Remove blank scans, an accidental cover sheet, duplicate pages, or material that should not appear in a new copy of a document.
Deletion works on the current document's page numbering, and a PDF must keep at least one page, so an export that would remove everything is refused rather than producing an unopenable file. The pages that remain are untouched, but the document's outline is not rewritten, so bookmarks that pointed at deleted pages can be left dangling. Because a new file is produced, the original on your device is unchanged and remains the copy to return to if you remove the wrong page.
How PDFolio helps you delete PDF pages
Choose unwanted pages in the visual preview or enter a range such as 4-8. The downloaded PDF contains every page that was not selected, so it is easy to make a shorter, cleaner copy for sharing or storage.
Deleting is the natural choice when most of the document should survive. When you would be removing more than you keep, Extract Pages describes the same result in far less work: listing the four pages you want is quicker and less error-prone than listing the ninety you do not. If the pages should be kept but moved, Organize PDF handles that without discarding anything.
Before you download
The source remains available if you change your mind. If you need to keep only a few pages instead of removing many, Extract pages is usually a quicker way to describe the intended result.
When the result is ready, download it immediately and open it in your usual PDF viewer to make a final check. You can then use Clear task data to release temporary file references from this browser tab. PDFolio does not create an account, cloud folder, or server-side document history.
A private way to delete PDF pages
PDFolio handles the selected files in the active browser tab. A Web Worker on your device performs the PDF task so the interface can remain responsive; document bytes are not sent to a PDF processing server, upload queue, account database, or advertising platform.
Steps
- Add a PDF.
- Select pages in the preview or use the Pages field.
- Process and download the trimmed copy.
Good to know: PDFolio prevents an export that would remove every page.
