Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a limit to how many pages I can delete?

You can delete as many pages as you want, with one restriction: at least one page must remain in the document. PDF files cannot be empty.

Will deleting pages affect the quality of my PDF?

No, our tool preserves the original quality of the remaining pages. There is no recompression or quality loss during the page deletion process.

Can I delete pages from password-protected PDFs?

Currently, our tool does not support processing password-protected or encrypted PDF files. You would need to remove the password protection first using another tool.

How accurate are the page previews?

The thumbnails shown in the interface are generated directly from your PDF and accurately represent the content of each page, helping you make informed decisions about which pages to delete.

Will bookmarks and links still work after deleting pages?

When you enable the "Preserve Bookmarks" option, the tool attempts to maintain document bookmarks. However, if bookmarks point to deleted pages, those specific bookmarks will be removed. Internal links to deleted pages may no longer function correctly.
