Steps to delete pages from a poster PDF

Open the page view and select the pages you do not want.

Delete them — the content leaves the file rather than being hidden.

Check any contents page, because page links to deleted pages will break.

Export the remaining pages as a new document.

What to watch out for on a poster

With this kind of document, very large type exaggerates every spacing difference, so the embedded font is essential.

One caution worth stating plainly: check it still reads clearly from a distance.

Why the result holds up

Sending only the pages that matter is simpler and safer than redacting a document you never needed to share whole.
