Objective and when to use it
Remove pages for a tailored submission, shorter reference copy or cleaner archive. Keep the complete source as the record.
Recommended flow
- Mark pages to remove using thumbnails and printed labels.
- Save a new copy rather than overwriting the source.
- Review the new first, last and boundary pages.
- Check bookmarks, numbering, links and sensitive content.
Care points
Removing a page can break references or leave a misleading page number sequence. Confirm the remaining document tells the intended story.
Checklist
- Pages removed intentionally
- Source preserved
- References and numbering reviewed
- Final copy opened and shared safely
