Common reasons to remove pages
Blank pages left over from double-sided scanning, a cover sheet or fax header scanned along with the actual document, duplicate pages from a scanner misfeed, or an internal-only page that should not go out with an external copy — these are the usual cases where removing a handful of pages is faster than rebuilding the document from scratch.
Picking pages precisely
Removing pages by clicking through thumbnails works well for a handful of pages spread across a short document, since you can visually confirm each one before marking it. For a longer document where you already know the exact page numbers, typing a range (like "2, 5-7, 12") is faster and less error-prone than scrolling and clicking.
Either way, double-check the result's page count matches what you expected — original page count minus the pages you removed — before treating the file as final.
Remove pages vs. extract vs. split
These three tools solve related but different problems. Removing pages keeps everything except what you mark — the right choice when most of the document should stay and only a few pages need to go. Extracting pages does the opposite: it pulls out only the pages you choose into a new file, useful when you need a small piece of a much longer document. Splitting is built for breaking one file into several output files, rather than producing a single trimmed-down document.
