It could be useful to remove duplicate or nearly duplicate pages inside one or more PDFs. For example:

pdfly rm-dupl with_dupl_rm.pdf with_dupl_pages

One possible approach would be to convert the pdf to images and then remove the ones that have similar image hash.

pypdf is not a "viewer" and can not generate images from pages. This feature can not be achieved.

Makes sense
