How Do I Delete Multiple Pages in Adobe Acrobat Pro?

Deleting multiple pages in Adobe Acrobat Pro is straightforward; here's how:

1. Open the PDF: Launch Adobe Acrobat Pro and open the PDF document you want to edit.

2. Access the "Organize Pages" Tool:

   • Go to the "Tools" tab.
   • Look for and select "Organize Pages". If you don't see it directly, you might need to scroll or search within the Tools panel. Alternatively, "Organize Pages" might be accessible from a right-hand pane menu, depending on your Acrobat Pro version.

3. Select the Pages to Delete:

   • The "Organize Pages" view displays thumbnails of all pages in the document.
   • To select consecutive pages: Click on the first page you want to delete, then hold down the "Shift" key and click on the last page you want to delete. This will select all pages between the first and last click.
   • To select non-consecutive pages: Hold down the "Ctrl" key (Windows) or "Command" key (Mac) and click on each individual page you want to delete.

4. Delete the Selected Pages:

   • Once you've selected all the pages you want to remove, click the "Delete" icon (usually a trash can icon) in the toolbar at the top.
   • Confirm the deletion if prompted.

5. Save the Modified PDF:

   • Go to "File" > "Save" or "File" > "Save As" to save the changes to your PDF. Choose a new name if you want to keep the original PDF intact.

Example:

Let's say you want to delete pages 2, 4, and 5. You would:

1. Open the PDF in Acrobat Pro.
2. Go to Tools > Organize Pages.
3. Hold down the "Ctrl" or "Command" key.
4. Click on page 2, then click on page 4, then click on page 5.
5. Click the "Delete" icon.
6. Save the file.

This process allows you to remove multiple, selected pages efficiently, leaving you with a clean, revised document.
