Why use this tool?
Removing blank scans, outdated inserts, accidental duplicates, or irrelevant sections can make a document smaller, clearer, and safer to share when those pages are not needed.

After you identify pages to remove, the browser creates a new PDF containing the remaining pages and prepares that copy on your device. Document contents are not sent to PDFora servers.

Frequently asked questions
How do I enter a page range?
Use commas and hyphens, for example 2,4-6,9.
Can I delete every page?
No. At least one page must remain in the output PDF.
Does the page numbering start at 1?
Yes. Enter page numbers the way you normally see them: 1 for the first PDF page, 2 for the second, and so on.
Will my original PDF be changed?
No. PDFora creates a separate output document.
Delete pages only from a working copy
Removing a page can also remove information that is referenced elsewhere in the document. Tables of contents, internal page references, exhibit labels, printed page numbers, and signature instructions may no longer match after deletion. Keep the original PDF and review the entire output rather than checking only the pages around the deletion.
For records, contracts, invoices, or evidence packages, make sure you are authorized to create an altered copy. Deleting a page changes the completeness of the document even when the remaining pages look unchanged.
Blank pages are not always accidental
A blank page can exist to preserve duplex printing, section breaks, signatures, or a required page count. Before removing it, check the pages before and after it and consider how the document will be printed or submitted. If the blank page is part of a formal filing, ask whether the recipient expects the original pagination.
