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.

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

View \ Show-Hide \ Navigation Pane \ Tags

Hope this helps
