Keep only the pages that belong in the filing
Quick answer
Tell Filly which pages to keep or which to drop — individual pages or ranges — and it returns the trimmed PDF. It's the tool for cleaning a scan before it goes into a packet, rather than for editing the pages themselves.
When you’d use this
Blank pages a scanner inserted
Duplex scanning a single-sided stack leaves a blank between every sheet. Dropping them halves the page count of a filing and removes the risk of a reviewer treating a blank as a missing exhibit.
Trimming a packet to what was requested
When an agency asks for specific pages of a longer document, send exactly those rather than the entire file.
How to do it
- 1Open the PDF tools and choose the page-selection tool.
- 2Enter the pages to keep, or the pages to remove — single pages and ranges both work.
- 3Run it and download the trimmed PDF.
What it doesn’t do
This changes which pages are present, not what is on them. It cannot delete a paragraph, blank out a field, or edit text — for removing sensitive values, use the redaction tool, which flattens the page so the text is genuinely gone.
Frequently asked questions
How do I delete pages from a PDF?
Open Filly's PDF tools, choose the page-selection tool, and enter the pages to remove — or the ones to keep, whichever is shorter. Download the trimmed file. No install, free plan covers it.
Can I remove the blank pages a scanner added?
Yes. Duplex scanning a single-sided stack typically leaves a blank on every second page, so removing the even pages usually clears them in one pass.
Does removing a page delete the text on it?
The page is gone from the output entirely, so its content goes with it. If you need to remove specific values while keeping the page, use redaction instead — it flattens the page so the underlying text cannot be copied back out.
The tools are the side of it
Filly is a form filler first: save a client’s details once and every form you upload afterwards fills itself from that profile. These PDF tools exist because the paperwork around a filing needs assembling before and after it’s filled.
