Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I remove several pages in one go?

Yes. Click as many thumbnails as you like, or type a range such as 4-9. Both selections apply to the same run.

Can I get a deleted page back?

Not from the new file, where it is genuinely absent. The document you opened is untouched, so the page is still there.

Will the file get smaller?

It may. Removing pages removes their content, but the final size depends on how the document is rewritten and compressed.

Is the removed page really gone, or just hidden?

Gone. The new PDF is built from the pages you kept, so there is nothing underneath to uncover later.

Background

What Usually Gets Deleted

Thumbnails of every page appear. Click the ones to go, or type a range, and a new document is written from what is left. The file you opened is not touched.

  • Blank sheets that a scanner picked up from the back of a double-sided page.
  • Cover sheets, fax headers and the pages of terms nobody is going to read.
  • Internal notes and salary lines that were fine for you and not for the recipient.
  • Draft sections and appendices that a final version does not need to carry.
