How Remove Pages works
Removing pages from a PDF is more nuanced than just deleting them — references between pages (internal links, table-of-contents entries, bookmark targets, named destinations) all assume the original page numbering. Naïve tools strip pages by index and leave behind broken links that point to nothing.
SwitchPDF rebuilds the page tree after the removal so the remaining pages renumber from 1 forward. We re-target internal hyperlinks where possible and drop bookmarks pointing to deleted pages, keeping the document navigable. Annotations, form fields, and embedded fonts on surviving pages are preserved.
The most common use cases: removing a blank first or last page that some scanners and exporters insert automatically; stripping draft watermarks or "DO NOT DISTRIBUTE" cover pages before sending a document externally; cutting an appendix off a long report; or deleting personal information from a page before sharing.
Because the rest of the document is left untouched, the operation is lossless. The file you download has identical quality to the original — only smaller, because the removed pages are gone. If you want a smaller file, you can pair Remove Pages with our Compress PDF tool.
