Can delete pages from PDFs

In general, I cannot delete pages from my PDFs the first few times. Acrobat displays the error "One or more pages could not be deleted." Generally speaking, if I close down and restart Acrobat a few times, I am able to delete the page(s) in question. Is there a way to get the delete function to work on the first try?

Wonder if is just a matter of waiting for a while. It is like opening a PDF and then closing it. It opens right back up. There is a delay in some of the loading aspects and that might be what you are seeing. OK, a guess, but I have never had the problem.

  • Error message when deleting page from pdf

    Each time I try to delete a page from my pdf, I get the error message "One or more pages are in use and cannot be deleted." What does this mean? The pdf is only open in Acrobat.

    This error happens to me occasionally and I have never been able to determine why. Sometimes saving and reopening the file does help, but it doesn't seem to be related to email attachments.  Sometimes switching from the Page navigation bar to the Page Toolbar or vice versa helps.

  • How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    Hi timk,
    None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.
    Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)
    If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.
    Please let us know how it goes!
    Best,
    Sara

  • Script or way to delete or export random pages from pdf...

    hello
    I have many request to export random pages from pdf doc. etc.. 1-3,51,63,78-92...I think that easy way is to have some script which will open dialog box and ask for which pages I want to export or delete from pdf. Anyone have something for this?
    thanks

    I find way for this on adobe blog. I am so stupid that I miss this "choose pages" button!!! You can combine more files and in list select pdf, and choose which pages from individual doc you want. Great

  • Is the way to retrieve the deleted pages from the database application

    Hi,
    I was just deleted the pages from my database application wizard. Now, i want to retrieve the deleted pages, can you help me to retrieve those pages.
    Thankyou.

    Halloween can be a scary time -- especially if you Oops your APEX application. Of course you can't travel back in time but through the miracle of flashback, you may be able to get the APEX appl. back to where it was when. I tried these approaches and was successful with them.
    *** This assumes flashback is running on the APEX schema(?). Your abiliy to go back a given number of minutes (or hours?) will depend on whether the saved values still exist in the database. ***
    A) If you modify a page and want to go back to what you had, say, about 30 minutes ago.
    1) Under the Utilities button (on that page), select History.
    2) Determine how far back in time you want to go by examining the list of editing changes displayed.
    3) Do a page export of that page (also under Utilities) and fill in “As of __ minutes ago”.
    4) If you don’t want to lose what you've got on the “damaged” page, copy it to another page number for now.
    5) Import the exported page file.
    6) Check if you got back what you wanted.
    7) If not, try an earlier (or later) time and have another go at it.
    B) If you deleted the wrong page in the application!
    1) Assuming the last thing you did was this deletion, export the entire application filling in “As of __ minutes ago”.
    2) Just to be careful, import the file to a different unused application number. Don't overwrite someone else's application.
    3) Copy the deleted page from the new application back to where you need it.
    4) Clean up by deleting the unneeded application.
    C) If, "Doh," you deleted the wrong application!!!!
    1) Are you able to retire? If no, then proceed!
    2) Create a minimal application (with a single page) with the same number as the one deleted.
    3) Export the application filling in “As of __ minutes ago” with an appropriate number of minutes.
    4) The export file should contain the code you need to restore.
    5) You can inspect it with an editor.
    Look about line 25 for" Pages: <number>".
    For specific pages look for "page_000nn".
    5) Import the file to the same appl. number. You should get everything back!
    YMMV: Your mileage may vary!

  • Websites I've loaded onto my home screen won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)

    Websites I've loaded onto my home screen using the + to home screen option won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)
    i need to reboot to stop it and I'm stuck with loads of homescreen icons on my iPad

    You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. If you like using website icons you can bookmark them as Favorites and they'll be on your Safari page instead of your homescreen and they're much easier to get rid of. Also you could turn on Favorites bar by going to settings> Safari> show Favorites bar> on. See screenshot.

    Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

    You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available.  You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

    Hold you finger down on the iPone App icon until it starts shaking then hit the x to delete it.
    Pages does not get deleted from your Mac because they are 2 separate applications on two separate operating systems, that just share a same file format.
