What is Remove Blank Pages?
Remove Blank Pages automatically scans your PDF document, detects completely blank or near-blank white pages, and deletes them from the file. When batch scanning paper folders on automatic sheet feeders with double-sided mode enabled, single-sided originals produce blank reverse pages. This tool analyzes page pixel densities to identify and remove all blank spacer pages automatically. It optimizes document lengths, reduces storage requirements, and cleans up document packets for archival storage.
