Can I delete pages from a scanned PDF?

Yes. Scanned and text-based PDFs work the same way — each page is removed as a whole.

Is the original file changed?

No. Your original stays as it is; a new PDF with the remaining pages is created for download.

How do I keep only certain pages instead?

Use Extract PDF pages: enter the pages you want to keep and everything else is left out.

About Delete PDF Pages

Duplex scanners leave blank back pages; report exports include cover and disclaimer pages nobody needs. Removing them makes the file smaller and cleaner before it goes out.

The remaining pages keep their original numbering order, content and quality; only the page tree is edited.

About the format

PDF · Portable Document Format · .pdf

The fixed-layout document standard: looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, contracts and reports are shared as PDF.

A PDF can contain vector text, embedded fonts, images, form fields, annotations and digital signatures.
Scanned PDFs are just pictures of pages; they need OCR before the text can be searched or copied.
PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008.
