About this tool
Blank sides from a duplex scan, an outdated cover sheet, a page with details the recipient should not see: list the pages to delete, for example 1, 4-6, z, and download the shorter PDF. Hushdesk does not hide pages. It writes a new page list, so the removed pages and everything drawn on them are left out of the file.
Everything else stays as it was: document properties, form fields, the order of the remaining pages and, for protected files, the password. Bookmarks that pointed to deleted pages are dropped, so the outline has no dead entries.
-
Really removed
Deleted pages leave the file together with their text and images instead of being hidden from view.
-
The rest untouched
Remaining pages keep their text, images, links and form fields, and nothing is re-compressed.
-
Protection preserved
A password-protected PDF stays protected with the same password after the pages are removed.
-
Clean bookmarks
Bookmarks to deleted pages disappear; all the others still lead to the right place.
Keep a few pages instead?
When you need only a handful of pages out of a long document, it is quicker to extract them than to list everything you want to drop. To move pages around as well, use the page organizer.
Questions and answers
How do I delete a single page from a PDF?
Type its number, for example 3, and press Remove pages. To delete the last page without counting, type z.
Is the content of deleted pages still inside the file?
No. The new file is written without those pages: their text, pictures and drawings are not carried over, so they cannot be recovered from the result.
Can I remove pages from a password-protected PDF?
Yes. Enter the password when asked; it is checked on your device. The shorter file keeps the same protection.
What if I type a page that does not exist?
The tool shows an error next to the field and changes nothing. Page numbers must be between 1 and the number of pages; z always means the last page.
Can I delete every page?
No. A PDF needs at least one page, so a list that covers the whole document is refused.
