When I try to delete certain pages from my PDF file (which is larger than 3,000 pages), I get an error message that states "expected an array object." I am unable to delete these pages. How can I fix this problem?

It looks like the original PDF file is damaged in some ways. Have you tried creating a new file from the existing file to see if it works? The quickest way to create a new file is to print the existing file to a PDF file. OK you lose some quality but this is just a test to see if there is anything else wrong with the Acrobat setup or with the document itself.

I get the same message when after combining several dozen fillable forms, then try and extract one or two pages (a double sided form).
Error code (15) that when I search the closest reference is (14).
I tried what you suggested. The entire set printed into PDF without issue and I was able to extract the two pages (one form)
Thanks for the suggestion

I found the answer to this here: https://answers.acrobatusers.com/expected-array-object-q33253.aspx
In File Explorer, right-click the PDF file you want to amend, then choose "Combine files in Acrobat..." then click "Combine Files" then re-save the file and delete the page(s) you want to delete.
This worked for me.
