PDF range deletion
Delete Page Range from PDF
When an entire section should disappear, selecting every page manually is slow. Delete a page range from your PDF to remove a chapter, appendix or interval such as pages 5 to 10.
Delete a page rangeWhy page ranges are useful for section removal
Sections often occupy consecutive pages. A range keeps the action precise: choose the start and end pages, remove that interval and preserve the rest of the file.
Ranges also reduce mistakes in long documents because you do not need to click every page one at a time.
How to delete a page range from a PDF step-by-step
Use the preview to identify the first and last page of the section to remove.
- Open the Remove pages tool and upload your PDF.
- Select the first page in the range and the last page in the range.
- Delete the selected interval and download the PDF with that section removed.
How do I delete a range of pages from a PDF?
Choose the first and last page of the interval, remove that selection and download the cleaned PDF. For example, remove pages 5 to 10 to delete one continuous section.
If the document has printed page numbers, verify the thumbnails because PDF viewer page counts may differ from the numbers printed on the page.
| Example | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 3-8 | Delete pages 3 through 8. |
| 5-10 | Remove a middle section. |
| 1-2 | Remove a cover and intro. |
| 12-20 | Remove a long appendix. |

For non-consecutive pages, use the multiple-pages guide. If you want to keep the range as its own file, split or extract instead.
