Hi, I want to know if there is an option in Adobe Acrobat to delete automatically blank pages from a scan. Or if I need other program to do it. [Tags removed by moderator]

Thanks!!

Hi,

Acrobat doesn't have the option to remove blank pages. You can do it manually from Organize pages.

You have to select all blank pages and delete.

Thanks.

Which version deletes the blank pages? I have to scan double sided and need to delete the blank pages that I don't need.

In Adobe Acrobat DC you can delete empty pages.

In Acrobat DC Pro, I don't see a setting to automatically delete/remove blank/empty pages.

 

Where is the setting?  Edit>Preferences>???


Hi Evan,

 

Adobe Acrobat doesn't delete the blank pages automatically. You have to get it done manually. 

Acrobat>Tools>Organize Pages>select and Delete is the option that would help.

 

There's no such preferences that can be changed to achieve this automatically. https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/delete-pages-from-pdf.html 

 

Hope this answers your question.

 

Thanks,

I have to ask.

If you are scanning a document of some type and creating a PDF out of the scans why are there blank pages.

Simple don't scan blanks sheets of paper.

As to your question. Not that I know of.

And if you are asking about the Acrobat Reader program then definitely not.

Because I scan like 100 paper per scan and some of those pages have many blank pages, so if I do it manually is to much time doing it.

I actually use Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. With another program do you know if this could be available?

Not sure if it can be done automatically but yes Acrobat XI will allow you to edit out the blank pages. Which you probably already knew.
