# PDF Delete Pages

Remove unwanted pages from a PDF with our PDF Delete Pages tool. Enter the pages to drop, such as 2,5-7 or 20-, and download the document without them, every other page in its original order. Bookmarks, links and form fields of the remaining pages are kept, and the resources of the deleted pages leave the file. A fast way to strip blank scans, cover sheets, ads or confidential pages.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I delete pages from a PDF?

Upload a PDF, enter the pages to remove, such as 1,4-6, and click Delete Pages. You receive the document without those pages, named after the original with -edited added.

### How do I enter the pages?

Write single pages like 3 and spans like 8-12, separated by commas. An open end like 20- removes everything from page 20 on, and -2 removes the first two pages.

### Can I delete every page?

No. A PDF needs at least one page, so a selection that covers the whole document is refused with a message. Keep at least one page.

### Does the file get smaller?

Usually yes. Only the fonts, images and other resources the remaining pages use are written, so the deleted pages take their content with them.

### What happens to bookmarks?

Bookmarks for the remaining pages are kept with their nesting. A bookmark for a deleted page is removed, and its sub-bookmarks move up a level.

### What happens to links and form fields?

Links to remaining pages keep working and web links stay. Links that pointed to a deleted page are removed, and form fields that only appeared on deleted pages are removed as well; all other fields keep their values.

### How large can the PDF be?

The PDF can be up to 10 MB with at most 200 pages. Encrypted files need their password, except when they only restrict printing or copying.

### Is the result password protected?

No. When you open a protected PDF with its password, the result is saved without encryption. Protect it again afterwards if it must stay locked.

### What else is not kept?

Accessibility tags, page labels and document-level JavaScript are not carried over, and digital signatures no longer validate. The title, author and attachments stay.

### Are my files stored?

No. The pages are removed in memory for this request and the result is returned directly. Nothing is written to storage on the server.
