Remove page from PDF

Question

I'm currently using iText and I'm wondering if there is a way to delete a page from a PDF file?

I have opened it up with a reader etc., and I want to remove a page before it is then saved back to a new file; how can I do that?

Answer 1

For iText 7 I found this example:

    PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(PATH + name + ".pdf");
    PdfDocument srcDoc = new PdfDocument(pdfReader);
    PdfDocument resultDoc = new PdfDocument(new PdfWriter(PATH + name + "_cut.pdf"));
    resultDoc.initializeOutlines();

    srcDoc.copyPagesTo(1, 2, resultDoc);

    resultDoc.close();
    srcDoc.close();

Answer 2

Get the reader of existing pdf file by

PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader("source pdf file path");

Now update the reader by

 pdfReader.selectPages("1-5,15-20");

then get the pdf stamper object to write the changes into a file by

PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader,
                new FileOutputStream("destination pdf file path"));

close the PdfStamper by

pdfStamper.close();

It will close the PdfReader too.

Cheers.....
