How can I delete pages from a pdf file

Hi renna questions,

To delete pages from a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat (choose Delete from the Pages pane on the Tools panel). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

Best,

I just bought Acrobat on line and when I open a PDF file and push the delete key nothing happens.  Also, under "Edit" the "Delete" tab is gray and I am unable to click it. What is wrong?

Hi timk,

None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.

Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)

If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.

Please let us know how it goes!

Best,

Sara

That was my dumb error, I was using the wrong one. Thanks for the gentle “Hey stupid” email.

I appreciate it.

No worries! I do the same thing myself all the time.
