Can I remove multiple non-consecutive pages in one operation?

Yes. Select scattered pages like 2, 5, and 9 together and remove them in a single pass. Rankify reindexes remaining pages automatically so viewers show a continuous sequence. This beats manually splitting and merging when you only need to excise a few sheets from a longer binder. Preview thumbnails carefully to avoid deleting signed exhibits.

Will removing pages reduce the PDF file size?

Deleting pages removes their embedded content, which usually shrinks file size proportionally. If removed pages were lightweight blanks while remaining pages are heavy scans, savings may be modest until you also run Compress PDF. For maximum email-friendly size, combine structural trimming with compression rather than relying on either step alone.

Is it safe to remove confidential pages from a PDF before forwarding?

Yes, but remember that metadata or hidden attachments in some PDFs may still carry information — Rankify removes visual pages you select, not necessarily embedded files unless present as pages. For highly sensitive redaction, verify the output visually and follow organizational policy. Local processing ensures the full original never uploads to third-party servers during editing.

How do I strip blank pages from a scanned duplex document?

Scroll through thumbnails and select empty backsides or separator blanks introduced by the scanner feeder. Batch-remove them and download a tighter PDF that is easier to read sequentially. Pair with Rotate PDF first if some scans arrived sideways, making blanks harder to spot. Accountants and paralegals use this workflow daily on lengthy e-filings.

Can I undo page removal if I make a mistake?

Reopen your original PDF from disk and repeat the selection — Rankify does not overwrite sources. Keep masters archived until you confirm the trimmed export is correct. If you already discarded the original, check browser download folders or versioned cloud storage for backups before attempting irreversible forwarding.

Does Remove PDF Pages work on password-protected PDFs?

Unlock the document first with Unlock PDF if you have legitimate credentials, then remove pages from the decrypted copy. Encryption prevents page-level editing in any tool until unlocked. Re-protect with Protect PDF afterward if the trimmed document must be encrypted before distribution.

What is the difference between removing pages and splitting a PDF?

Remove PDF Pages produces one cleaned file with fewer sheets — ideal when recipients should receive a single streamlined document. Split PDF creates multiple files from ranges — better when chapters become separate deliverables. Choose Remove when you trim junk; choose Split when you divide content intentionally.

Can I delete every page in the PDF?

No. At least one page must remain — use the grid to keep the pages you still need.

Can I remove non-consecutive pages?

Yes. Select any combination of pages in the grid — for example pages 2, 5, and 9 together.

Does removal reduce file size?

Deleting image-heavy pages can shrink the file. Run Compress PDF afterward if you still need a smaller attachment.

Will removed pages stay in the original file on disk?

Your uploaded source file on your computer is unchanged — the download is a new trimmed PDF.

Can I preview thumbnails before deleting?

Yes. The grid preview shows each page so you do not remove the wrong sheet.

Should I split instead of delete?

Use Split PDF when you want those pages as a separate file. Remove PDF Pages when you want one shorter document.

Can I remove pages from a password PDF?

Unlock first with Unlock PDF when you have the password, then trim the decrypted copy.

Can I merge after removing pages?

Yes. Trim several sources, then Merge PDF into one clean packet.

Does delete affect text selectability?

Remaining pages keep their original content and text behavior.

Can I undo a mistake after download?

Re-open the original source PDF and select again — the tool does not modify your original.

How is this different from cropping?

Remove PDF Pages deletes entire pages from the document rather than cropping margins within a page.

Can I remove pages on mobile?

Yes for shorter documents; the grid is easier to use on tablet or desktop screens.
