About Delete Blank Pages
Delete Blank Pages checks every page of your PDF and removes the ones that are empty. It is made for double-sided scans, which often leave a blank back side behind.
Double-sided scans love to leave empty pages behind. This tool looks at every page and removes the ones that have no text and look empty. Pages with faint marks or scanner noise may count as not blank, and that is on purpose, to avoid losing real content.
