Hi Zia,

Only Acrobat and not the free Reader can delete pages from a PDF file.

Thanks,

Hi Jason -

You need to have a full version of the Acrobat program, not the free Adobe Reader, so there is cost involved.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand your last statement about losing functionality. Again, what program were you trying to open it in?

I do not have this page manipulate box…is this an upgrade that I must pay for? I was forced to open a document in the new adobe and when I did I lost all functionality of my document.

Hi Leishalynn -

No, you don’t have to delete anything. You change the order of pages in the Page Thumbnails pane by dragging and dropping the pages into the order you want to use.
