How to delete pages from a PDF
How to remove blank or unneeded pages from a PDF and save it as a new PDF, with nothing to install.
Use this when you want to remove blank pages picked up during scanning, pages containing personal information, or attachment pages you don’t need to submit.
How to do it with DocDori
- Open the PDF in the Workspace. The file is not uploaded to a server.
- Go to the page you want to remove and press ‘Delete page’.
- Press ‘Download edited copy’ to download a new PDF without those pages. The original file stays as it is.
Good to know
- Once you delete a page, its content is not included in the new file. Still, check for yourself that the same information doesn’t remain on other pages.
- To reorder pages or merge in other PDFs, see Editing PDF pages.
When this comes in handy
- When removing blank back sides created by double-sided scanning
- When leaving out pages with personal information that don’t need to be submitted
- When cleaning up appendix pages in a report that are no longer needed
Frequently asked questions
Can I get back a page I deleted by mistake? The original file isn’t changed, so just reopen it and start over. That’s also why there’s no need to move or delete the original before you start removing pages.
Can I hide just part of a page? Covering part of a page with a box is not safe redaction. If sensitive information spans the whole page, deleting the entire page is the reliable choice.
