I have a 20-page PDF on my phone and need to remove two blank pages before sending it. How can I delete just those pages without messing up the rest?
Honestly the easiest trick is to use the print option on your phone, pick “save as PDF” as the printer, and set the page range to skip the blanks, like 1-5 then 7-20. You’d need to do it twice if the gaps aren’t together, but it works fine. I do this with drawing sets all the time.
I had to do this with some scanned forms on my mobile recently. The easiest way I found was using pdfcap.com in the phone’s web browser. You just upload the document, tap to delete the blank pages, and download the neat version. It didn’t mess up the formatting at all.
Just open the file on your phone, hit print, and choose save as PDF. You can select a page range and skip the blank ones. I ruined a batch of market invoices learning this the hard way. Avoid converting it to a Word document first, as mobile formatting will completely wreck your layout.
On Android you can actually use the Google Drive app, open the PDF with it, and there’s a basic page edit option that lets you delete pages. On iPhone the Files app can do the same thing through the markup/organize pages view. Had to figure this out last month before sending something off and it worked fine without messing up the rest.
