Count from the first sheet
The cover is physical page 1 even if it has no printed number. The selection 2,4-6 removes sheet two and sheets four through six.
Other pages remain in their original order. At least one must remain; a PDF with no sheets cannot be created.
Create and inspect the copy
Use Extract when keeping only a few sheets from a long document: listing wanted pages may be simpler than listing every unwanted page.
- Load the document and check its total.
- Enter positions to remove.
- Process and open the download.
- Check deletion boundaries and confirm all required appendices remain.
The original is not deleted
A new local copy is created and the original stays on your device. Keep both until review is complete.
Deleting entire sheets does not redact data within a page. It may also leave outdated contents or references: review them and number pages after finalizing the sequence.
