Match visible pages to PDF positions
A cover may have no printed number, while the next page is labeled 1. In that case, printed page 1 is PDF page 2. Use the thumbnail order or the viewer counter, not only the number printed inside the document.
Remove pages and verify the new copy
- Keep the original PDF and note the exact individual pages or ranges to remove.
- Enter those page positions in the removal tool and create the new PDF.
- Open the downloaded copy and check the pages immediately before and after every removed section.
Be careful with official and signed files
Removing pages from a digitally signed PDF can invalidate its signature. A contract, application, invoice, or evidence file may also refer to an attachment by page number. Preserve the complete original and clearly label any shortened copy.
