How to delete pages from a PDF
A PDF often has a page you do not want to send: a blank sheet, a cover page, or a page with private details. Removing it does not need special software, and the document does not have to leave your device.
Think in pages to keep
The tool asks which pages to keep, not which to delete. To remove page 4 of a 10 page document, you keep 1-3 and 5-10. It feels backwards at first, but it makes it hard to delete a page by accident.
Step by step
- Open the Filesmingo board and drop the PDF onto it.
- Select the PDF and open the Pages tab.
- Type the pages to keep, using commas and ranges such as 1-3, 5-10.
- Create the new PDF and download it.
The new file is built from the original pages, so text stays selectable and the quality does not change.
Rotate pages that are sideways
The same tab can rotate pages by 90 or 180 degrees. That helps with scans where a page came out sideways or upside down.
Check the result page by page
Open the new PDF and scroll through it. Check the page count and make sure the right pages are gone. If the file is going to someone else, a quick look is worth it, especially when you removed a page because of private details.
Keep the original
Keep the original PDF in case you need a removed page later. The tool makes a new file and leaves the original alone.
