Delete Page in PDF

I download a PDF file everyday that has 2 pages, but the 2nd page is always blank, so I have to manually go into Apple Preview to delete it. I'm wondering if Hazel has the ability to delete that 2nd page automatically? Thank you.

Hazel doesn't have any built-in actions to modify the contents of files. You'll need to use another program to do that. There might be an Automator action to help in this regard.

Understood. Anyone have any suggestions to use Automator for that? Thank you.

Preview supplies some. Otherwise, it'll depend on what apps you have installed.

I see. I will take a look at Preview's functions within Automator. I'm new to Automator. I also have PDF Expert which is my main PDF editor, and Adobe Acrobat X and PDF Pen Pro.
