Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I can't seem to delete a separate page in a PDF using Maverick's Preview 7.0.
I can go get the sidebar to appear by going the View menu and clicking on "Table of Contents." I see the separate pages listed there, but when I click on an individual page, "delete" is grayed-out in the Edit menu and pressing on the delete key in the keyboard alone or in combination with option or command keys does nothing.
Please help.
I figured it out! In case this is useful to anyone else: I just needed to go to the Edit menu and choose "Thumbnail." Once the list of pages is turned into Thumbnails, you can delete them.
Apple products are not as intuitive is they used to be.
My son has been recommending the same thing. With Yosemite due out any week now, I'll probably wait. But perhaps I'll do the combo update with Yosemite instead of doing the delta update.
Thanks for the help!

That won't be possible, Yosemite won't appear as an update. It will be a new system entirely. Once Yosemite is installed and starts getting updated it will follow the delta/combo pattern.
Just use the Delete button. It will take a couple of seconds to delete it but it will work.
To get Thumbnail option just click on the icon at the top left corner which looks like a double page and you will get all the options there.
THANK YOU!!!!
Try File -> Duplicate and repeat the process on the new copy. It should work.
You can delete pages only if your pdf document is not locked. The delete button is disable when the document is locked. You can find ways to unblock it online.
Is this security settings on your PDF.
I had this problem and I exported the PDF to a new file and then all was fine.
CMD + i the problem doc and see if there is security listed.
The Answer is:
You may not perform the edits (such as deleting pages) until AFTER you have saved the scanned document to your computer.
Once saved. Close the document, open it again and Preview will allow you to make changes. (Delete pages etc.)
No Purchase required.
In El Capitan's Preview, one can simply select a thumbnail in Preview, and hit backspace (delete) to remove the PDF page. Does this work in Mavericks?
How can I delete a page in a PDF with Maverick's Preview 7.0?
