If you‘re reading this page, it probably means that you too, like many others before you, are wondering how do I remove pages from a PDF? 

Well, the answer is much easier than it might seem. In fact, you have quite a lot of options when it comes to removing pages from PDF files. Let’s take a look at some of the most tried, tested, and recommended ways to remove pages from a PDF.  

How to Remove Pages from a PDF Using Adobe Acrobat 

To remove pages from a PDF using Adobe Acrobat, you simply have to: 

1. Open your file in Acrobat. 
2. On the right-handed part of the screen, you will see a toolbar. If by any chance, the toolbar is not there, don’t panic, these things happen, you will first have to activate it by going to the bottom of the screen and clicking the Hide Right-Hand Panel button. 
3. Once you see the right hand-sided panel/ toolbar, click Organize Pages. This will give you two options to remove pages from your PDF file: 

• Individually: by hovering your mouse over every page you want to delete and clicking on the recycle bin button 
• Multiple pages: by clicking on Select Pages, then selecting the pages you want to delete from the drop-down menu, and then clicking on Delete.  

That’s it, that’s how you delete pages from a multiple-page PDF file using Adobe. Easy-peasy, right? But you don’t have acrobat? Well, read on…
