Remove PDF pages: drop blanks, duplicates, and stray covers

Published 2026-05-04

Use inclusive ranges to delete only what you intend, and keep at least one page in the output.

Batch scans often insert blank separators or duplicate feeds. Removing pages shrinks archives and reduces “which version is true?” confusion.

Ranges delete inclusively

Listing 5-7 removes pages five, six, and seven. You cannot delete every page—leave at least one leaf. If unsure, duplicate the file locally before experimenting.

Compare with extract

Extraction keeps listed pages; removal drops listed pages. For annex-only sharing, extraction is safer; for janitorial cleanup, removal is faster.
