Looking for an acrobat script to delete blank pages

[Document Geek]

I need an acrobat script to delete blank pages. By blank, I mean TRULY blank, with nothing on them.

I found this script: but it just looks for pages without text content. So it also ended up deleting pages that had vector graphics on them.

for(var i=this.numPages-1;i>=0;i--)
{
  if(this.getPageNumWords(i)==0)
    this.deletePages(i);
}

Can anyone help by making this script just apply to truly blank pages? Alternatiely, it would work if it only looked at 11"x17" pages and deleted the blank ones.

This is a bit off topic, but it might be helpful to others. There is a preflight fixup that can remove empty pages, it can be added to an Acrobat Action.

What does empty mean? Or blank?

A page can have no words and but be filled with graphics, on an image of words.  Or it can just be a bad scan of a blank page, which will look like a graphic to any software.

That's perfect! Just what I was looking for. I tried to embed that into an action, but I can't find "Remove empty pages" in the dropdown.

Is it hiding somehwere else?

This dropdown menu only displays profiles, not fixups.

You must first create a new (custom) profile using the "Remove Empty Page" fixup for it to be available in this menu.
