# Delete pages in a PDF
2+
3+
- Using this script you can delete the pages you don't want with just one click.
4+
- I have added a test PDF with the script which you can run to test the script.

## Setup instructions

- We use **pdfrw** library for this script.
9+
- To install this library, type `pip install pdfrw` in your terminal.
10+
- To run the script run `python3 script.py` and then enter the information as prompted by the program.
