PODOFOPAGES(1)							    podofopages 						    PODOFOPAGES(1)

NAME

       podofopages - move and delete pages in a PDF document

SYNOPSIS

       podofopages [--delete] [--move] [inputfile] [outputfile]

DESCRIPTION

       podofopages  is one of the command line tools from the PoDoFo library that provide several useful operations to work with PDF files. It can
       move and delete pages in a PDF document.

OPTIONS

       --delete NUMBER

	      Deletes the page NUMBER (number is 0-based). The page will not really be deleted from the PDF. It is only removed from the so called
	      pagestree and therefore becomes hidden. The content of the page can still be retrieved from the document though.

       --move FROM TO

	      Moves a page FROM TO in the document (FROM and TO are 0-based).
