Deleting a page in Illustrator CS

Hello All,
I am working on a document in Adobe Illustrator and am trying to delete unnecessary pages. I can select the contents of the page but when I try to cut or delete the page, only the content is removed. This leaves me with a .pdf document containing blank pages. Could anyone explain what I am doing wrong or walk me through on removing a page from the document itself. Thank you very much!

Can you show us how did you do to have "pages" in an Ai doccument? this is not posible with that version in Illustrator..
It sounds like you have an oversized artboard and are printing or saved with automated tiling..
see this post for more explanation

Page numbers from MS Word cannot be deleted in pages

A colleague sent me a MSWord (Mac) document that I opened in pages 09 and started working on it. I need to delete the page numbers that were put in on the MSWord document. I guess they were put in using the automatic page numbering feature in Word. However, In the Pages09 document they are not in the usual footer location. It almost looks like they are part of the page background. They are not selectable and cannot be removed. It I choose to add page numbers using Pages, they numbers appear in the usual footer location—in addition to and not supplanting– the unselectable page numbers brought over from MSWord. Does anybody know a solution to this?

Loren,
The persistent content usually is a Master Object. So, you were right to begin with: Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable. One would think that if this is always the solution, it would be a simple matter to now select the tenacious item and delete it. The problem is that sometimes the object while now selectable is still not accessible.
This Master Object can hide behind the Header box, as though the Header was a solid glass wall. Deselecting the Header function, in the Document Inspector, will give you access, but it will also irretrievably delete your Header Content. A better way, I have found, is to change the header Margin figure in the Document Margins Pane of the Document Inspector.
Once you have moved the Header, Footer, or whatever else might be sharing the space, off the persistent page number, you can click on the page number Object and hit Delete. Now you can put back whatever you had to move, and you should be good to go. Consider yourself lucky if your Pages header doesn't fall over the old Word Header.

I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

Hi Crushed,
Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

How do I delete some pages from an existing pdf file?

I have an existing pdf file that is too large to send to some people. How can I delete some pages from this existing pdf file, and break it up into two files?

Acrobat
You can download a 30 day trial at that link.
You may also be able to do it with CreatePDF, but I'm not sure.

How can I print mulitple different .ai files onto one page in Illustrator CS6?

How can I print mulitple different .ai files onto one page in Illustrator CS6? I have all of the files organized by Arrange Documents>Tile All in Grid and I would like to print the files in this format so that they can all be seen at once when printed out onto one page.
Some background is that I have 16 different cad drawings that I have converted and edited in illustrator. I'd like to basically make a contact sheet with all 16 drawings so that they can be reviewed on one sheet of paper after printing. But each drawing is in it's own unique file, and I have not figured out how to put them all onto one page for printing.

You can place them (linked) into a new Illustrator file and print from there.
The original files will need pdf compatability.

Thanks Peter,
Yes, I just wanted to tell Jerrold that I tried his suggestion and it worked. I tried many times until I came across his suggestion. As far, as my comment about the points, I thought there was a way to rate the responses and the person providing the response would receive some points from Apple. (See the Legend banner above discussing points). If I am correct in this assessment, I just wanted to ensure he got credit for solving my problem.
Have a great day! Thanks for responding!

Lora,
I appreciate the feedback. The Points issues aside, if you had posed your question in a new thread, your use of the Solved tag would alert others searching the Discussions that you had a positive result. This thread, Marilyn not having marked it, doesn't stand out as a solved one. Maybe Marilyn is satisfied, and maybe not. It would be nice to know.

How can I fit 75 pages into Illustrator?

I'm working on a rulebook for a boardgame. Each page has vector art and text blocks intermixed to explain the rule mechanics. It now exists as 75 individual Illustrator files that need to be combined into a single PDF document.
Obstacle 1: Illustrator doesn't have enough space for 75 artboards
Obstacle 2: Using copy-paste to put each into InDesign doesn't work: Each line of text becomes an individual text block (and therefore uneditable).
Obstacle 3: Using the Place function to put each .ai file into InDesign loads each page as a uneditable picture. I'd have to open each individual page in Illustrator to make a change.
Background: The rulebook was created in a ten-year-old version of Macromedia Freehand, which will not work on my new iMac. Converting it to illustrator resulted in 75 individual .ai files
Is there a way to allow more space in Illustrator to hold more artboards? Can two exported .pdf files be merged together (so the rulebook could be done with two or more .ai files)?

As a longtime FreeHand user, I can offer my 2¢.
I am able to import a multi-page FreeHand MX into Illustrator CC if I first convert the file to PDF. Then using the script: "AI Open MultiPage PDF" http://aiscripts.com/ai-scripts/openmultipagepdf/ I can import the full FreeHand PDF file and it will show up page-by-page. It takes a few minutes to do and does a decent job but ...
Beware the text format limitations between the two programs! FreeHand's block text converts to line text in AI.
The conversion does keep the vector objects editable and fills intact.

PS: If you do want to keep FreeHand on your new Mac, read this: http://freehandforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2067

I can't delete a page in adobe professional anymore... what gives????

I can't delete a page in adobe professional anymore... what gives????

Hi Doctoromaka,
Are you unable to delete pages from any PDF, or is the problem specific to one file? If it's just one file, is it possible that the document has permissions applied that would prevent you from modifying the file? (You would see "SECURED" in the title bar of the PDF if it's been secured.) (Also, make sure that the file is open in Acrobat Pro, not Adobe Reader--I always have the two open simultaneously, and sometimes don't realize which one I'm working in.)
If the problem is widespread, what's changed on your system?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How to delete a page in Pages 5.0?

In the new Pages 5.0 I can't delete a page.

Hi have found the solution. You need go into the View menu and make sure that you have checked the Show Invisibles option. Once you can see the invisibles, you should see a blue line at the top of the "blank" page with a small "document" icon at the right of the line. You need to delete this blue line/icon which will delete the whole page as long as there are no other "invisible items" which may also need to be deleted.
I did the above and my blank page disappeared from the thumbnails view immediately.

Getting error during deleting a page in 4.1

I am getting the following error while deleting a page. I don't have any DA in the page.
ORA-04091: table APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_PAGE_DA_EVENTS is mutating, trigger/function may not see it ORA-06512: at "APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_PAGE_DA_ACTIONS_T1", line 35 ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_PAGE_DA_ACTIONS_T1'

Hi pkpanda,
This has come up a few times now, mostly seems to happen where the page is originally created as a copy of an existing page, that contains a DA, or where a DA references a region. Is there any chance you could send me an export of the application, to the address in my profile? It would really help to see exactly what's going on.
Regards,
Anthony
