I am getting an error when I try to delete a page in a document: There was a problem reading this document (15). Is there a way to actually delete the document without having to re-do the whole thing all over again?

Hi lisag0929,

Sorry for the delay in response.

You may visit this thread: "There was a problem reading this document (15)" , and I couldn't delete one of my pages. it never happened before. check if that helps.

This is a generic error message and there could be multiple reasons why this is happening.

Sc00ps! You are really a very special, talented and generous person by sharing your knowledge this way. It’s very hard to find individuals like yourself. You must have been raised right. Keep it up and thank you for saving me hours of more searching! You are a ROCKSTAR!!!

I found another work around. I extracted all of the pages into a seperate folder then combined the files back into a single pdf and that seemed to fix the problem.

I hardly ever post or respond to threads but I was having a compatibility issue as well and sc00ps has the right answer (at least for me).

Thanks sc00ps!

Hi lisag0929

I have had this issue with DC (Pro) quite a few times and although I'm not an expert I have tried fixing it with the Accessibility tools.

It may not be the same issue but I have found when I get the error 15 message is when importing and then I cant delete the corrupt file.

The only thing I have found that works for me every time as I am not bothered about the structure in my books is to just delete the Tags at the top and then I can delete the pesky pages.

To find tags and structure

Hope this helps
