Remove Pages
Builds a new PDF without the pages you choose; the remaining pages keep their order.
The Remove Pages action makes a new PDF that leaves out the pages you choose, for example a blank last page or an internal cover sheet. The remaining pages keep their original order.
Add the action
In the Process Designer toolbox, open PDF and pick Remove Pages (or type Remove Pages in the search box).
Inputs and outputs
| Field | Direction | Type | Required | What to put / what you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input file | Input | File | Yes | The PDF to remove pages from. |
| Page Selection | Input | Text | Yes | The pages to remove, one selection per row. A row is a page number (3) or a range (5-7). Press Enter between selections. |
| Resulting File | Output | File | Yes | A new PDF with the remaining pages. |
Example
With a 3-page Input file invoice.pdf:
| Page Selection | Resulting File |
|---|---|
2 | pages 1 and 3, named invoice.pdf_Leftover.pdf |
1-3 | The step fails: Cannot save a PDF document with no pages. |
In the same way, on a 10-page file the two rows 3 and 5-7 would leave pages 1, 2, 4, 8, 9 and 10.

Invalid selection on row โฆ : Value โฆ is greater than input file page count ! - Rows accept only a number or a
