Removing a page from a pdf

If you're using Assembler, which comes with LiveCycle PDFG, chances are you're already familiar with http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/ddxRef.pdf.

Here's a simple DDX for removing a page (or pages) from a pdf:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
 <PDF result="resultDoc">
  <PDF source="inDoc" pages="1,3-last"/>
 </PDF>
</DDX>

You'll notice that you have to specify all of the pages that you want to keep, and in this scenario we deleted page two.
