dennismstfc/Incremental-PDF-Page-Remover

A Streamlit app to remove redundant incremental pages from PDF files.

Incremental PDF Page Remover

Incremental PDF Page Remover helps remove redundant pages in PDF files. Pages that are similar to the previous version (based on a similarity threshold) are considered redundant, and only the last version in any sequence is retained.

New Feature: Adjustable Similarity Threshold

You can now adjust the similarity threshold using a slider, which can be set from 0% to 100%. The default threshold is set to 90%—if pages are more than 90% similar to the previous page, they will be removed.

Important files

• main.py: Runs the Streamlit web app.
• pdf_processor.py: Contains the logic for removing redundant pages.
• scripts/: Directory where uploaded PDFs are temporarily stored.

How It Works

1. Upload PDF: Use the Streamlit interface to upload a PDF.
2. Set Threshold: Adjust the similarity threshold with the slider (default is 90%).
3. Process & Download: Click the button to remove redundant pages and download the optimized PDF.
