MHB Code language for editing PDF files

[linag96]

I have around ~24 PDF files I want to edit. I want to delete the first page of each file OR scan for certain text in the file/delete the text (whichever implementation is easier). What would be the most convenient and straight forward coding language to do this with and what would be my starting guide to creating this program?
I am an amateur coder, I love learning coding. I have about 4 months of experience with C++. I used a lot of MatLab last year for my math classes, I also learned some command line. I'm open to learning anything new. Thank you for your help.

Like web crawling (or scraping)?

If you are viewing them in browser i guess using Javascript would be the best way to crawl. If not, probably Python.

Some interesting resources here and http://www.nyu.edu/projects/politicsdatalab/localdata/workshops/BeautifulSoup.pdf.

However if you only want to delete the first page of each, then the editor or previewer you are using to view them will likely be the fastest way.
