Delete pages

Selected pages can be deleted from a PDF. PDF/A documents or documents that have been certified or digitally signed cannot have pages deleted.

There are a few ways to delete pages from a PDF file:

  • Go to Document > Delete Pages.
  • From the Thumbnail panel, select one or more thumbnails to select a page. Hold CTRL or SHIFT to select multiple pages, then right-click on a selected page and select Delete Pages.

Each of these methods opens the Delete Pages dialog. Choose which pages to delete from the Pages menu. Options are:

  • Current: Sets the range to the current page only. The current page number will appear in parentheses, for example, Current (2) if page 2 is the current page.
  • Selected: Sets the range to the current selection. This option only appears if pages were selected prior to invoking the command.
  • Custom: Sets the range to a custom value. When you select this option, replace any text left in the field with the page or pages to be printed directly. To enter a custom range:
    • Use a dash between page numbers to define those two pages and all pages in between.
    • Use a comma to define pages that are separated.

    For example: 1-3, 5, 9 will include pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9.
