I save a lot of web documents as PDF's these days, to save on paper printouts.

I used to preview, then save requisite pages. A bit long winded.

I have found an (undocumented ?) feature of Preview I really like.

It is much quicker to print the whole web page(s) as a PDF, then when opened in Preview (as my default for PDFs) any unwanted pages are easily deleted by the  backspace command.

Now I would like to be able to delete parts of pages as easily.

iMac Intel Core i5, 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB 21.5" Monitor 10.7.4.
iMac 17" 2.0ghz Intel Core 2 Duo w 3gb memory (White one) 10.6.8.
Internal 500gb / 160gb plus External 500gb x 2 (2x Time Machine)

Leopard introduced the ability to delete and rearrange the pages of PDFs so no, it isn't undocumented and it works for any unprotected PDF.
