🚀 How the PDF Page Remover Works

**Select File:** Choose your PDF document (`.pdf`) from your device. The tool will display the total number of pages.
**Specify Pages:** Enter the page numbers or ranges you wish to **remove** (delete). Use commas to separate numbers/ranges and hyphens for ranges (e.g., `1, 3-5, 8`).
**Load and Parse:** When you click the red button, the **pdf-lib** library loads the entire PDF file locally in your browser.
**Modify Structure:** The tool translates your specified page numbers into internal PDF indices. It then creates a new, blank PDF document and copies **only the pages you kept** from the original document into the new one. The pages marked for removal are simply ignored and left behind.
**Download:** The new, finalized PDF, with the unwanted pages deleted, is then streamed to your device for download. **No data is ever sent to a server.**

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is my PDF secure? Does it get uploaded?

Yes, it's 100% secure. This tool uses **client-side JavaScript** (pdf-lib) to read and modify the PDF file structure entirely within your web browser. Your document **never leaves your computer** and is not uploaded to any server.

2. How should I format the page numbers to delete?

Use commas for individual pages and hyphens for continuous ranges. Examples:
- To remove pages 2 and 7: `2, 7`
- To remove pages 5 through 10: `5-10`
- To remove pages 1, 3, and 12-15: `1, 3, 12-15`

3. What if I want to *keep* certain pages instead of removing them?

This tool is designed specifically for **removal**. To keep specific pages, you must enter all the pages you *don't* want. For example, if your PDF has 10 pages and you only want pages 2, 3, and 4, you would enter `1, 5-10` to remove the rest.

4. Why does the page count show a large number, but my PDF looks small?

The page count is determined by the PDF metadata. If your document has blank or template pages embedded within it, the count will include those, even if they aren't immediately obvious when scrolling. Be sure to check your PDF for hidden pages before removal.

5. Does deleting pages reduce the file size?

Yes, deleting pages often reduces the file size significantly, as the data corresponding to those pages (text, images, and formatting) is permanently removed from the new document's structure.
