Adobe Acrobat X Pro - Page Dlete Error

Hi, there.
 
I'm a user of Acrobat X Pro.
 
I've some problems for Page Delete.
 
On page panels, if I try to delete some pages, I receive some message.
 
That is "one or more pages are in use and could not be deleted".
 
Especially, if I insert some pages on page panels, and save the pdf file,
 
I receive the error message.
 
After inserting pages without saving files, it is able to be deleted.
 
But isn't that a general way?
 
To delete some pages after saving files, I've to finish the Acrobat,
and reopen it repeatedly.
  
Of course I've read some forums with respect to such the problems as mine,
but I can't find clear answers.
 
Is anybody who knows the solution to solve the problem?
  

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 10.0, Windows

Usualmind,

This looks like a documented bug from Adobe, they plan to fix it in an Acrobat update. Saving, then closing the file and re-opening it should allow you to delete the pages.

Thompson,

There is also a reported problem with a 3rd party product called TerraGo Toolbar that prevents deleting pages. Make sure you don't have this plug-in installed.
