This can be achieved by opening up the PDF in Google Drive with Google Docs. Then just highlight and delete the parts of the document you don’t want to keep including images and text and then go to File > Download > PDF Document to download the ‘edited’ version. It’s not the most efficient way of doing things but it’s sort of functional for small amounts of editing. This process reminds me of a short story I read called ‘He Saved His Old Flame. I Erased Myself’. The story follows the protagonist as she methodically deletes all traces of her digital life from shared accounts after a break-up from her boyfriend. It’s a very tense story and it manages to make something as mundane as digital ‘cleaning up’ seem like a high-stakes drama.

I have not found a way to remove pages from a PDF in Google Drive natively, but there is a workaround to this. First, open the PDF in Google Drive. Right click the PDF and select ‘Open with Google Docs’. In Google Docs you can then delete unwanted pages by selecting the content of the page you wish to delete and pressing delete.

After removing the unwanted pages, you can save the changed PDF by clicking on File and then Download as PDF. Please be advised that during the conversion, there may be some changes to the layout and formatting. For removing pages and saving them in the original format, I recommend using a dedicated PDF editor such as Adobe Acrobat or smallpdf.com (for free).

Removing pages from PDFs uploaded to Google Drive isn’t currently a native Google feature. My current “best practice” to removing pages from PDFs uploaded to Google Drive is to Open PDF in Google Docs which will then convert the PDF to a text document. Go to the bottom of the page you wish to remove from the PDF and delete everything until there is nothing left on that page. Save as a PDF document – not perfect but I find this works most of the time. There are many free PDF editor online tools including Sejda PDF editor that enable you to upload a PDF, remove pages and then download your edited PDF – all pretty easy to do.

Removing pages from PDFs within Google Drive can be achieved in a few ways. The easiest way to remove pages would be to open the PDF within Google Docs, delete the required content and then export as a PDF. There are many other online tools including Smallpdf and PDF2Go that can also remove pages from PDFs online. They are simple to use and do not require any download.

As someone who’s before spent hours cleaning up PDFs for projects, I know Google Drive is not the easiest place to do this. To Upload a PDF to Drive, right-click the file and choose ‘Open with’ Google Docs. Then just delete the text and images from the pages you want to cut out and after you’ve edited the PDF, download it as a new PDF.

Free online tools such as PDFescape or IlovePDF work far better for this. Simply upload your PDF, delete pages as desired (you can delete text and images from a page to delete a page), and download your file as a brand new PDF – all much quicker and with better formatting than the Google Docs method.
