Delete - Grayed out

Post by 4mc »

I'm a new user and hoping someone can point me to the obvious mistake I'm making.

I have a 56-page pdf, created by scanning a magazine in. I want to delete all the pages that have a full page advertisement. I open the pdf, scroll to the first page I need to delete, right click on the page I want to delete and delete is not active?

Also, as far as I can see there is not visual editor with PDF-XChange Editor, where you can drag/drop pages to reogranise, or delete pages?

So the only way to delete a complete page is from the Organize/Delete Pges menu which requires actually selecting page numbers of the pages to be deleted?

The Delete you are referring to is for annotations. Open Thumbnails pane and delete pages from there. Ctrl+Shift+D is another option, but more cumbersome for what you want to do.

Hello 4mc,

The delete button you are referring to is for selected objects only.

You can delete the page(s) with the help of these menus:

Thanks, disappointing, I would have thought the menu would have been context sensitive, especially since there isn't a drag/drop visual editor to organize, move/delete pages.

Thanks

The Thumbnails pane is the visual editor you are looking for.

Yes, of course, how had I not seen that, it does page deletes too!
