Remove Pages vs Split PDF — what’s the difference?
Split PDF creates multiple new documents from a single PDF. Remove Pages creates one new document with certain pages deleted. For example: if you have a 10-page PDF and want pages 3–7, use Split (extract pages 3–7). If you want to delete pages 3–7 and keep everything else, use Remove Pages.
Removing blank pages from a scanned document
Scanned documents frequently include blank pages from the scanner’s automatic double-sided mode. If your PDF has 20 pages but pages 2, 4, 6, 8 are blank, enter “2, 4, 6, 8” in the Remove Pages tool to eliminate all of them in one operation.
