PDF tool
Delete pages from a PDF
Mark the pages you don't need on the thumbnails, or a whole range with Shift+click, and download a PDF that holds only what should be shared.
There is almost always something to take out before a document goes anywhere: the blank sheet the scanner added, a fax cover page, an internal annex that should never leave the office, or the parts of a case file that have nothing to do with the person asking for it. Delete pages shows the PDF as thumbnails so you can mark what goes, a single page or a whole range with Shift+click, and download the trimmed file.
In practice, removing pages is data minimization: what you never share cannot leak. It makes sense for that clean-up to happen somewhere controlled. Anonimatum processes the PDF on its own servers in the EU (OVHcloud, France and Poland), in memory and without passing it to third parties; it hands the file straight back and keeps no copy. Politeia Soft holds Spain's ENS certification at MEDIUM category, and the platform is designed for GDPR.
Sometimes dropping whole pages isn't enough, because a name or an account number sits on the same sheet as content you do have to hand over. In that case, once the superfluous pages are gone you can send the PDF to the anonymizer to redact or pseudonymize that data, or extract only the pages you need into a new PDF. It all happens under the same account, and the document never changes provider along the way.

Security
Your PDFs never leave our servers in the EU
The same safeguards as the anonymizer, also for merging, converting or compressing.
Our own servers in the EU
Every tool runs on Anonimatum servers in France and Poland (OVHcloud). No third-party services or APIs: LibreOffice and OCR run on our own server.
We don’t keep the document
The PDF is processed in memory and returned straight away. Conversions use a temporary folder that is deleted when they finish.
History under your control
Group activity (operation and file name) is deleted according to the retention your administrator sets, from 1 to 365 days. The audit log only keeps the SHA-256 fingerprint.
Access with your account
You sign in with your Anonimatum account, with two-step verification, and each use is deducted from your plan’s PDF tools quota.
ENS Medium category
Politeia Soft is certified under Spain’s National Security Framework (ENS), Medium category, and the platform is designed for the GDPR.
Next to the anonymizer
Merge, reorder or convert, then anonymize or pseudonymize the result on the same platform before sharing it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I select several consecutive pages?
Mark the first page of the range, then Shift+click the last one: every page in between is selected. You can also mark individual pages one by one.
Where is the document processed?
On Anonimatum's own servers in the EU (OVHcloud, France and Poland), without sending it to third-party services or external APIs. It is processed in memory, returned straight away and not stored.
Do I need an account? Does it use quota?
Yes. PDF tools require an Anonimatum account, with two-step verification available, and each use counts against your plan's PDF tools quota.
What if I want to pull some pages into a separate PDF?
That's what Split/extract pages is for: pick pages on thumbnails and get them in a new PDF, or split the document into several files.
Is removing pages enough to protect personal data?
If the data sits only on the pages you remove, it is gone from the resulting PDF. If it appears on pages you have to keep, use the anonymizer to redact or pseudonymize just that information.
Share only what's needed
Remove unwanted pages on EU servers and, if needed, anonymize the rest on the same platform.
