How to find duplicate pages in a PDF?

Report · Oct 10, 2017

I have searched the forums and haven't found an answer to this question.

I am combining several large PDFs of emails. Some of the emails are identical between PDFs and within PDFs. Is there a way to search for duplicate pages in the new PDF?

I probably will end up with about 600 pages, of which 200 are probably identical to another page. It's a mess. Thanks for any ideas!

Ok. So it appears there isn't a way to do this short of creating a script.

Even with a script it's extremely limited.
