Delete PDF pages without losing the wrong section

Why this happens

Printed page labels can differ from file positions. Deleting a cover changes later positions in the newly saved file.

What to try first

Make one plan using the original page positions. In AI chat, review that plan and click Apply once; you do not need to type a special confirmation phrase.

Try it on a fresh copy

1. Open the PDF and count pages from the beginning, including any cover.
2. Enter the page numbers or ranges you want to remove. Leave at least one page in the document.
3. Process and download the shortened copy. Check both sides of each removed section.

How to tell whether it worked

Count the remaining pages and check the first and last page around each removal.
