Removing PDF Pages with IronPDF

Removing one or more pages from a PDF document is a trivial task with IronPDF.

The featured code example uses the removePages method to modify a four-page 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 (effectively 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 to remove a sequential range of pages (pages 4 - 18 of a fictitious document, for instance). To remove a list of individual pages (not ordered sequentially), provide a List of page indexes to pageRange instead:
