Deleting Pages From PDF Documents

There are a few ways to delete the pages of PDFs in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. One way is by use of the keyboard short cut Ctrl + Shift + D. Here, a small box appears and asks you what range of pages you would like to delete. The other way is completed by following a series of steps to use the organize pages tool found in the tools section.

The difference between these solutions is visibility. To visually inspect the pages before deleting them, you would want to use the method completed from the tools section. This way requires only 5 easy steps when you are working in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

These steps to deleting pages from the tool section are described in detail throughout the remainder of this text.

1. First, open the Adobe Acrobat Pro DC application. Next, open your file by navigating to the file menu and selecting open.

A file can also be opened in the Windows operating system by pressing Ctrl + O. Additionally, files can also be found by clicking on the home tab, followed by clicking on my computer and then the browse button.
