Delete PDF Pages

No. The pages you keep retain their original quality, formatting, fonts and images, and clickable links between the pages you keep still work. A link that pointed to a deleted page no longer leads anywhere, so if your document has a clickable table of contents, open the result and click through a few entries before treating the file as final.

The download creates a new PDF without the deleted pages. Your original file remains unchanged. Keep your original PDF if you might need those pages later. There's no way to recover a deleted page from the downloaded file itself once it's created, so always confirm the preview shows the pages you intended to keep before downloading, and don't discard your only copy of the original until you've checked the result.

Yes, scanned PDFs work the same way. Each page is simply an image, and removing pages works identically to text-based PDFs. The remaining scanned pages stay intact.

You can delete any number of pages, but at least one page must remain. You cannot delete all pages from a PDF. For very large documents, the process may take a few seconds longer.

Delete Pages removes unwanted pages and gives you a single PDF with the remaining content. Split PDF extracts selected pages into separate files. Use Delete Pages to clean up a document; use Split to create multiple separate documents.

Yes, as long as the file opens without a password. PDFs that only restrict editing or printing are processed as they are. A PDF that asks for a password to open is rejected with a message; remove the password with the Unlock PDF tool first, then delete the pages.
