"1,5,9" — deletes pages 1, 5, and 9.

"2-6" — deletes pages 2 through 6.

All remaining pages are kept in their original order in the output PDF.

Common reasons to delete PDF pages

Removing pages from a PDF is useful in many situations:

Removing blank pages — scanned documents often have extra blank pages between sections.

Removing cover pages — when forwarding a document internally, the cover page is often irrelevant.

Removing confidential pages — strip sensitive appendices before sharing with external parties.

Removing watermark pages — some PDFs have a branded first or last page that you don't need.

Trimming large reports — extract only the relevant chapters for a specific reader.

Delete pages vs split PDF — which to use?

Both tools remove pages, but in different ways:

Delete Pages — you specify which pages to REMOVE. All other pages stay in one output PDF. Best when you want most of the document but need to cut a few pages.

Split PDF — you specify which pages to KEEP. You can extract a specific range as a new PDF. Best when you want just a small section of a large document.

Does deleting pages affect PDF quality?

No. Removing pages is a lossless operation — it simply excludes the unwanted pages from the output without re-encoding or recompressing anything. Text, images, and formatting on the remaining pages are identical to the original.
