Delete Pages from a PDF
Removing one or more pages from a PDF document is trivial task with IronPDF.
The featured code example uses the removePages method to modify a four-paged PDF document (generated on the fly for demonstration purposes). The resulting PDF saved to the local filesystem includes only the first and fourth pages of the original document (in effect, deleting the middle two pages from the document, as expected).
The PageSelection
class is used to specify the pages that removePages will delete from a loaded PdfDocument
object. Developers can use the class's static pageRange
method (as featured above) to remove a sequential range of pages (pages 4 - 18 of a fictious document, for instance). To remove a list of individual pages (not ordered sequentially), provide a List
of page indexes to pageRange
instead:
