Is the removed content really gone?

Yes. The page is not included in the output at all, so its text and images are absent from the file rather than hidden within it. That is the difference from covering something with a rectangle.

Can I get the pages back afterwards?

Not from the output — but your original file is untouched, since the result is a new document. Keep the original until you have checked the result.

How do I remove every other page?

List them explicitly: 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on. There is no interval syntax, since it would be ambiguous alongside the range notation that ordinary page selection uses.

What if I only want to remove part of a page?

Use the redaction tool. It removes the text itself rather than drawing over it, which is the distinction that has embarrassed a long list of organisations that drew rectangles instead.

About the Remove Pages

Deleting pages from a PDF — a blank scan, a cover sheet, an internal note that should not go to the client — is a small edit that most PDF viewers make surprisingly difficult without a paid application.

This removes the pages you name and produces the rest as a new document. The original is untouched, since nothing is written back.

The distinction that matters most is between removing a page and hiding what is on it. Deleting a page removes its content entirely; it is gone from the file. Covering something with a white rectangle does not — the content stays underneath and can be recovered by anyone who extracts the text. If the reason you are removing a page is that it contains something confidential, deleting the page is the right operation and it is genuinely thorough. If only part of a page is the problem, the redaction tool is what you want, because it removes the text rather than covering it.

Pages are named as the document displays them, counting from one. The range notation is the same one a print dialogue uses — 2, 5-7, 11- — which is what most people reach for without thinking about it.

Everything else in the document survives: the remaining pages keep their content exactly, and no re-rendering happens. Internal links pointing at a removed page will no longer resolve, which is a consequence of the page not existing rather than a defect in the removal.

File size drops roughly in proportion to what was taken out, though a document dominated by one large image will not shrink much when a text page goes.
