Frequently Asked Questions
Can I undo a deletion after I download?
No. Once you download the new file, the pages are physically removed to save space. We always recommend keeping a backup of your original file if you think you might need those pages later.
Does deleting pages make the file size smaller?
Yes, absolutely! By removing the data associated with those pages, the resulting PDF will have a smaller footprint, making it easier to email or upload.
What happens to the page numbers?
The remaining pages will logically shift to fill the gaps. If you need new visible page numbers (e.g., 'Page 1 of 10'), we recommend using our 'Add Page Numbers' tool on the new file.
Is it safe for password-protected files?
You must first unlock the PDF using our 'Unlock PDF' tool. Once authorized, you can delete any pages you wish.
Will it break the 'Table of Contents'?
Internal links and bookmarks may still point to the original (now missing) page numbers. We recommend checking your navigation links if your document has a complex index.
