QPDF

  https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf

is a command-line program that can delete pages.  The way you delete
pages is by extracting pages from the original PDF to create a new PDF
with the pages you want to delete omitted.  For example, to delete pages
1-9 and 13 from a 14-page PDF named in.pdf:

$ qpdf in.pdf out.pdf --pages in.pdf 10-12,14 --

Here are some other command-line programs that can delete pages that I
think are probably good but that I've never actually used myself:

* PDFtk Server

* pdfjam
