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.

        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?

          Yeah I cannot fathom why this doesn’t exist either.  I’ve got some scans that need to be duplex scanned (documents with text and info on both sides of a piece of paper) and would love to have duplex set up as a default selection, and an auto recognition of blank pages with no text when the scanned documents only are only printed single sided.


          My scanner has a "remove blank pages" option that works well.  I scan 100% of the time in duplex mode and the scanner removes the blank pages and keeps each side when there is text present.

           

          Having said that, I really would like a feature within Acrobat to remove blank pages.  It is aggrevating as I receive documents from clients all the time with blank pages I have to remove in processing.
