PDF documents are useful because their layout remains relatively consistent across computers, phones and tablets. But a PDF can easily contain pages that you do not want in the final version.
You may have a blank page, duplicate page, outdated appendix, unnecessary cover sheet, internal notes or simply a section that should not be included in the copy you are sharing.
What Does Deleting a PDF Page Mean?
A PDF is a structured document whose pages are indexed in a tree. In PDFTeq's implementation, the browser loads the selected PDF into a pdf-lib PDFDocument object. When you select pages for deletion, their indexes are removed from that loaded document, and the modified document is exported as a new PDF.

How PDFTeq's Delete Pages Tool Works
PDFTeq's Delete Pages tool is built around client-side processing using JavaScript and pdf-lib in browser memory:
- Select a PDF: The browser reads the selected file into memory.
- Load document structure: pdf-lib parses the page count and previews are generated.
- Select pages: Users flag target pages visually or through selection buttons.
- Safe index deletion: Selected pages are removed in reverse index order to prevent index shifting.
- Export: A fresh PDF is built and served via a browser download link.
