Delete PDF Pages in Python

You can delete pages from a PDF file using Aspose.PDF for Python via .NET. To delete a particular page, use the PageCollection of a Document.

Use this workflow when you need to remove unwanted pages from a PDF before sharing, archiving, or combining documents.

Delete Page from PDF File

Aspose.PDF for Python via .NET deletes page 2 from the input PDF and saves the updated document to a new file. This feature is helpful for removing unwanted or sensitive pages without altering the rest of the document.

  1. Load the input PDF as a Document.
  2. Delete the page using the PageCollection.
  3. Call the Document.save() method to save the updated PDF file.

The following code snippet shows how to delete a particular page from the PDF file using Python.

import aspose.pdf as ap

def delete_page(input_file_name: str, output_file_name: str) -> None:
    document = ap.Document(input_file_name)
    document.pages.delete(2)
    document.save(output_file_name)

Delete Multiple Pages from a PDF Document

Deleting multiple pages allows you to remove a set of specified pages in a single operation, which is more efficient than deleting pages one by one. The resulting PDF is saved to a new file, preserving the original document.

  1. Load the input PDF as a Document.
  2. Delete the pages listed in the pages array using the PageCollection.
  3. Save the updated Document to a new file.
import aspose.pdf as ap

def delete_multiple_pages(input_file_name: str, output_file_name: str) -> None:
    document = ap.Document(input_file_name)
    # Example: delete pages 2, 3, and 4.
    pages = [2, 3, 4]
    document.pages.delete(pages)
    document.save(output_file_name)
