This article will show you how to Delete Pages From PDF on Windows or macOS using Mac Preview, SmallPDF, and a free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you have a 50-page PDF file on your Mac, you’ll need to split it up. Some of the information on it is important, but at least half of the pages aren’t needed.
Right now, to save time, you need to change and delete the number of pages in the PDF file. PDFs are the best way to share documents that you want to make sure get to the right people without being changed by accident or on purpose. This is why PDFs are so popular for resumes, professional reports, pamphlets, and many other files with text, graphics, or a mix of the two.
A PDF can be opened on either a Mac or a computer, and it will look exactly the same on both. But even though the text and graphics in a PDF stay the same as when it was made, PDFs are not completely static. You can add text boxes, signatures, and doodles, among other things, to make them better. You can also always delete pages or add new ones.
