How to delete pages from a PDF

Removing pages is one of the most common PDF chores: a blank scan, a duplicate, a cover sheet you no longer need. It takes seconds and does not touch the pages you keep.

Pick the pages to remove

Decide which page numbers go. Tools let you list them (for example 2, 5, 9) or select thumbnails visually.

Keep everything else intact

Deleting a page only drops that page's objects; the rest of the document — text, links, bookmarks — is untouched.

Blank pages from scanning

Double-sided scans often leave blank backs. Remove them in one pass rather than one at a time.

In FreshPDF

Use the delete pages tool for a quick list-based removal, or the editor's page organiser to click-select thumbnails.
