• A PDF reader for Linux that can delete pages?

    From Andreas@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 4 10:30:45 2022
    Dear Newsgroup,

    some time ago a colleague of mine opened a pdf file on her Mac and just
    pointed to a blank page in the thumbnails view on the left, hit the
    delete button and the page disappeared. I found that a great feature to
    quickly delete pages I have scan in duplex mode, but that are blank. I
    don't believe she had the full version of Adobe installed. I think she
    only had the reader that comes preinstalled, but I'm not sure because I
    have never used a Mac myself.

    Does anyone know if there is a reader that can do that for Linux? I have
    looked at Okular, but I can't find a reference to such a feature on
    their page.

    Sure you could tell me to just try it, because after all it's free, but
    I would like to avoid randomly installing programs just to try them out
    and then having to uninstall them again. If I were sure that the program
    does what I need, I would be much happier giving it a try.

    Thanks

    I have not seen that feature, but I haven't looked for it, either.

    Most Linux readers just do that, read. Maybe add notes.

    There are, of course, command line programs that, I think, can do what
    you ask. Not point and click :-D
