You can also use Google Chrome’s built-in PDF viewer:

- Drag and drop the PDF file to Chrome.
- Click print and then choose “Save as PDF”.
- In the Pages section on the left side, type the page numbers you want to keep.
- Click Save and you’re done.

I just installed PDFCreator from SourceForge and it shut down my internet browser and tried to install malicious adware. Thankfully my Anti-Virus program detected it right away and blocked it. I promptly uninstalled and program.

This tip seriously hangs my computer, hard reboot required sometimes. Wish it DID work. Still need utility for deleting pdf pages.

Barry Leiba, your tip about Preview in Mac saved me lots of time and hassle. All I needed to do was delete one page from my PDF, which otherwise would have involved me driving all the way across town, turning on my ancient PC with an ancient version of Acrobat, saving my PDF on a memory stick, etc….. You rock!

none of these suggestions are for non-computer programmers. i downloaded both suggested programs/printers/hack codes/whatever and can’t even understand how to begin how to work these. i hate adobe for not having a mac trial… all i want to do is delete some pdf pages!!

aside from many comments from people who don’t get the point and think printing to pdf-embedded pictures are the same as editing i will explain:
guys,he asked for an editor, not a PRINTER, cause pdf creator is indeed a soft printer.
and I love the spam of Nitro PDF staff (a commercial soft) promoting their crappy soft.

as for the pdf printers- u take a 140kB pdf created in Ooo or MsW, print it to images with pdf creator or cute pdf leaving out the unwanted pages and you get bitmap scans of pages weighing 6megabytes, with no searchability, no editable form fields, dog slow load times etc. etc.

indeed pdftk looks good and up to the task just a bit hard to learn.
but it’s a knowledge worth practicing

or you can edit the code in notepad, if you know the syntax…I don’t – this was actually the search that took me to your site

and I like the purity of your site, as im on an Oled phone and have user css to spare some battery and your site is now nice black with ‘burlywood’ text.
some designers just put all the background stuff to the foreground or use non css background elements which are hard to override without tears.

Richard: The part you quoted isn’t as trivial as it sounds. You’re not really printing, but using a facility that is labeled “print” by analogy. “Printing” to PDFCreator makes a single PDF file with only the selected pages.

“To delete pages from an existing PDF, open the PDF in Adobe Reader and print to PDFCreator the pages you don’t want to delete.”
GREAT ADVICE! WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF IT MYSELF?

I’m super late to this party, but I just got to this page from Google and I thought I would chime in with the “print to pdf” functionality of NitroPdf (can even print to pdf from inside NitroPdf).

I use it as default because of the excellent integration with Evernote but this is another reason to use it.

Although, not as conveient to use, you can also you the printing capabilities from the OS (I know this works under Linux and OS X). Just print the pages you want to PDF from the initial PDF file.

I’m really loving the theme/design of your web web site. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility difficulties? A number of my weblog readers have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks fantastic in Opera. Do you might have any solutions to assist fix this problem?

I noticed the loss of word search functionality when using pdfcreator (didn’t try pdftk though)

pdftk specifics; to delete the first page:

pdftk original.pdf cat 2-end out new.pdf

(Still a little boggled at syntax like “cat 2-end out”.)

Excellent solution! I used this idea in CutePDF as well, and it worked a treat.
