How to delete PDF pages

  1. Drop the PDF.
  2. Type the pages to remove.
  3. Press Delete pages and download.

What happens to your file

The named pages are removed and the rest are copied through unchanged, with their text layers, links and annotations.

Removing every page is refused; so is a page number past the end, with the page count shown.

Questions

Can I delete a range and single pages together?

Yes: "1, 4-6, 9" removes page 1, pages 4 to 6 and page 9.

Does the file get smaller?

Usually, by about the share of the removed pages. Compress it afterwards for more.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.
