How to Remove Pages from a PDF (or Keep Only the Ones You Need)

A twenty-page PDF when you only need three, a scan with blank sheets, or a contract with appendices you do not need to send. There are two ways to sort it out with PDFácil, depending on what you want.

Option 1: remove individual pages

Best if you want the same document without some pages.

  1. Open Organize pages and choose the PDF. You will see a thumbnail of every page.
  2. Tap “Remove” on the pages you do not need.
  3. If you like, change the order too by dragging the handle or using the arrows. Each page shows its original number so you do not get lost.
  4. Tap “Export PDF” and download it.

Option 2: split the PDF into parts

Best if you need several files out of one: for example, separating each payslip from a PDF with the whole year.

  1. Open Split PDF and choose the file.
  2. Type the ranges you want, separated by commas. For example, 1-3,4-6 creates two PDFs: one with pages 1 to 3 and another with pages 4 to 6.
  3. If you want one file per page, use the “Split every page” button.
  4. Download the files one by one or all together as a ZIP.

Which one should I use?

The original stays untouched

In both cases a new PDF is created: your original file stays as it is. And everything happens in your browser, without uploading the document to any server.

If the PDF has a certificate-based digital signature, removing pages invalidates it. In that case, keep the original as well.
