Remove Pages

Delete the sheets you no longer need from a document and keep everything else. Pick the numbers to drop, run the tool and download a cleaner copy — your original upload is left untouched.

How to use it

1. Upload your PDF.
2. Enter the numbers you want to delete, for example 2,5,8-10.
3. Run the tool and the trimmed file downloads automatically.

A quick example

A 10-sheet report with sheets 2, 5 and 8 removed comes back with the other seven, in their original order. Ranges work too, so 12-20 clears a whole appendix in one go.

When it helps

• Dropping blank sheets left behind by a scanner
• Taking out duplicates or an outdated section of a report
• Removing internal notes before you share a contract or proposal
• Making an email attachment smaller and easier to read

Remove vs extract

Removing deletes what you list and keeps the rest. Our Extract Pages tool does the opposite: it keeps only what you list. Choose whichever needs fewer numbers to type.

Before you start

Double-check the numbers against your document, because the tool cannot guess which sheets you meant. Locked or damaged files may need to be unlocked or repaired first, and very large uploads take a little longer. Your file is deleted from our server shortly after processing.

A worked example

A student scans a 30-sheet handout and notices that sheets 4 and 17 came out blank and sheet 22 is a duplicate. Entering 4,17,22 produces a clean 27-sheet copy ready to upload to the course portal, without rescanning anything.

Tips before you start

• Open the file and write down the numbers your viewer shows in its toolbar — printed numbers on the paper itself may differ.
• For long runs, use ranges: 40-55 removes sixteen sheets in one go.
• Keep the original until you have checked the new copy.

Typical situations

• Cleaning up scanner output with blank or skewed sheets
• Removing confidential appendices before sending a proposal externally
• Dropping cover sheets and adverts from downloaded reports
• Making a large attachment small enough for email limits

Troubleshooting

If nothing seems to change, check that the numbers exist in the file. If the tool cannot open your document, it may be password-protected or damaged — unlock or repair it first, then try again. Very large scans can take a little longer, so wait for the download to start.
