I will be setting myself on fire at the end of the day.
I have converted word docs to a pdf form using live cycle designer...blah blah blah.

Now I need to extract and delete, or just plain delete a few of the pages throughout the form, and I cannot. Never have been able to. Have tried everything, including security checks, and opening the form in designer to attempt to delete there.

Im the freaking rolling stones here...no satisfaction!

Help. I beg you, death by setting myself on fire would not be fun.

If you edited or created your form in Designer then you'll need to delete the pages in Designer. Acrobat cannot modify a form developed in Designer. Have you tried deleting the content in Designer?

Hopefullly this will bring you some ... emotional rescue.

Actually friend you are a lifesaver, but not because of this last response.
I had tried deleting in Designer. Then after much screaming, and a few tears, I read your FAQ...the answer to "operation not permitted" did the trick!

I checked to make sure fonts were embedded, then searched for hidden elements, removed them, after previewing them, and deleted my way to happiness. No fire extinguisher needed!

Thanks again! :D
