If you are struggling to remove/delete a page/s from a PDF document on Windows 10, there’s a good chance you’ve tried using all the usual PDF tools, including Adobe Acrobat (free) Sadly, none of these tools allow you to remove pages from PDFs without paying for the full version or a subscription.
Although there are tons of options available online as well, most of them are terrible at doing such a simple task and require more input effort than they are worth. The only decent online tool I have come across that allows for pages to be removed/deleted with ease has been Sejda but I’d still be careful uploading sensitive documents to an online tool like this. For more sensitive documents it’s always best to use a local tool you can lock down and restrict Internet access to.

To remove pages from a PDF document using PDFshaper do the following. First, open the tool and choose the option to Delete Pages from the main screen.
Then, on the next screen click the Add option and add the file you wish to remove pages from.
Once the file has been added, click Process and enter the page number/s you would like to be deleted from the PDF document.
Click Process again, then name the file and choose a location you would like the edited document saved to. It will take the tool a few seconds to remove the pages, then allow you to open the file.
For a free tool, the process is super fast and exceptionally easy to use. The output quality is also very good with no risk of corruption in the newly created file. Even if you only grabbed PDFshaper to remove pages from PDF files, it’s worth keeping around for all the other PDF features it has.
