Technical Insight: Page Removal Mechanics
Our page remover leverages the pdf-lib library. Upon loading, the binary file is parsed into a PDFDocument object representation. When you select pages for deletion, our code tracks their indices (0-indexed). The script loops through the selected indices in reverse order (to avoid index shift errors) and calls pdfDoc.removePage(index). Once all target pages are deleted, we trigger a save command to generate a new optimized binary stream. The file is saved as a blob: URL, which the browser downloads instantly, maintaining local confidentiality.
