I've been growing fond of qpdf's simplicity and speed.

Is there a way to use qpdf to remove a page or page range from a pdf document using qpdf?

Say I want to remove pg 2.
Say I want to remove pg 4-7.

Yes, you can remove pages using qpdf.

qpdf input.pdf --pages . 1,3-r1 -- output.pdf should remove only the second page.

qpdf input.pdf --pages . 1-3,8-r1 -- output.pdf should remove pages 4-7, inclusively, from the input pdf.

The r1 in the page range specifies a number of pages from the end of the document. See page-ranges for more information.

Of course, page selection is more powerful than simply having the ability to remove pages from a document (what I use it most for). Page selection allows merging different ranges from different PDFs as well. See page-selection.
