Delete pages from a PDF
Removing pages is the operation you want when the document is nearly right: a scan that picked up a blank sheet, a report with an internal cover page you cannot share, a bank statement whose first two pages are marketing.
You describe what to remove and everything else is kept, in its original order. The output is a new PDF; the file on your disk is untouched.
Removal is real, not visual
This matters more than it sounds. Some tools “remove” a page by setting a crop box or drawing over it, which leaves the content in the file for anyone who looks. Here the removed pages are simply never copied into the output — the new document is built from the pages that survive, so what is gone is genuinely gone.
If your reason for removing pages is confidentiality, that distinction is the whole point. Note that this removes whole pages only; to obscure part of a page you would need redaction, which this tool does not claim to do.
Selection syntax
2 removes a single page. 5-7 removes an inclusive span. 20- removes everything from page 20 to the end, and -3 everything up to page 3. Combine with commas: 1, 4-6, 19-.
Listing a page twice is harmless — it is removed once. Listing a page that does not exist is reported rather than ignored, so a typo never silently produces the wrong document.
