A couple of things to know
If the pages you type would remove the whole document, or none of the page numbers exist in your file, the Remove these pages button stays disabled rather than showing an error message. If nothing seems to happen after you type page numbers, check that at least one page will remain and that the numbers are within your document's page count, shown next to the input.
Tips for a clean result
- Check the page count first. It is shown next to the file as soon as you add it.
- Want only certain pages, not the rest removed? Use Extract PDF Pages to copy just the pages you want into a new file.
- Need the remaining pages in a different order? Use Rearrange Pages after removing.
- Sending the file afterward? Open it once to confirm the right pages are gone before you share it.
