Delete Pages by Range

Overview

Delete Pages by Range removes a chosen selection of pages from the active document: the current page, a from–to range, or a custom list such as 1-3, 7, 12-14, optionally filtered to even or odd pages. Before anything is deleted, a confirmation states exactly how many pages are going and lists them as collapsed ranges.

How to use

  1. Open the PDF.
  2. Go to Plug-Ins > Pages > Delete Pages by Range.
  3. Choose the page selection: current page, a from–to range, or a custom range, and optionally restrict it to even or odd pages.
  4. Click OK, then confirm the deletion — the prompt shows the page count and the exact pages (e.g. Pages: 2-4, 9).
  5. Save the document to keep the change.

Page selection

OptionDescription
Current page Deletes the page currently shown (subject to the even/odd filter).
Page range Deletes every page from the start page to the end page, inclusive.
Custom range A comma-separated list of pages and ranges, e.g. 1-3, 7, 12-14. Out-of-range entries are ignored.
Page type Further filters the selection to all, even, or odd pages.

Note

Deleting every page of the document is not allowed — a PDF must keep at least one page.

Warning

Bookmarks, links and named destinations that pointed at a deleted page stop resolving. The deletion cannot be undone; if you confirm by mistake, close the document without saving.
