How to Delete Pages from a PDF

Deleting PDF pages means saving a new PDF made of the pages you keep. This guide lists the steps we ran with this site's Delete and Rotate PDF Pages tool on a test PDF.

How do I delete a page?

Click the ✕ (delete) button on a page's picture to mark it, then click Save PDF.

Open Delete and Rotate PDF Pages and add your PDF. Each page appears as a small picture.
Click ✕ on each page you want to remove. The page is tagged as deleted and the summary at the top changes. In our 30-page test PDF, deleting pages 2 and 3 showed "Keeping 28 of 30 pages · 2 to delete · 0 rotated", and the deleted pages were tagged "Deleted".
To bring back a page, click Restore (↺). To undo everything, click Undo all changes.
Click the save button, which shows the number of pages left, such as "Save PDF (28 pages)".
On the result screen, check the page count and size, then click Download PDF. Our test file showed "1 PDF · 28 pages in total · 77 KB", and the downloaded file was named after the original with _edited added (05_긴표_30쪽_edited.pdf).

Can I delete several pages at once?

According to the on-screen help, clicking page pictures lets you select several pages together. For this guide we only tested deleting pages one at a time with ✕.

What should I check afterwards?

Open the downloaded file and check the page count and that the pages you meant to remove are gone. In our test we counted pages (30 became 28); we did not compare every page's content one by one. If you deleted a page with personal information, keep the original file separately and page through the new file before you send it.

When this does not work

You cannot delete every page. With all pages marked, the screen said that at least one page must remain and the save button could not be clicked.
Password-protected PDFs are not supported. Adding one showed a notice that password-protected PDFs are not supported for deleting or rotating pages. → Can't Merge or Split a Protected PDF?
According to the on-screen note, bookmarks and links that point to a deleted page, and form fields that were on a deleted page, are also dropped from the new file. We did not test this ourselves; it is the note shown on screen.
A scanned (image-only) PDF could also be handled page by page (we saved a 1-page test scan), because the tool moves pages rather than reading text.

If you would rather pick the pages to keep, see How to extract pages from a PDF. To join the result with other files, see How to merge several PDFs into one. If the file is still large, see How to reduce PDF file size.
