JAVA has put me off, despite PDFsam Basic would do what I want.
To remove pages in an existing 269 page PDF by another author.
There is a Portable JAVA by "PortableApps.com"

I think I will agonize over it for a few days ... or more !

Mac version failed without error after converting first 5 pages. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a Mac PDF tool.
