How to remove blank pages from a PDF or scan

  1. Choose the PDF (or drop it on the box). Every page is checked at once, on your phone or computer.
  2. The pages that look blank are ticked to go, each with why: Nothing on it, No ink, Only specks, Faint show-through or Only a scanner edge. Look at them: tap a page to untick it and keep it, or tick any other page you want out.
  3. Tap Remove, then download or share the PDF.

Everything happens in your browser: the PDF is never uploaded to ap7am or anywhere else. The new file keeps your PDF's name, such as certificate-no-blank-pages.pdf.

How a blank page is found

First the PDF itself is read: a page with real text is never blank, and a page that draws nothing at all always is. Any other page (most often a scanned sheet) is drawn small and its ink measured, ignoring what a scanner adds to an empty sheet:

  • the colour of the paper, which in a scan is rarely white;
  • specks of dust and noise, under about a millimetre;
  • faint show-through: what is printed on the back of the sheet, light and blurred by the paper (a light-grey form's lines and boxes are sharp and straight, and are not taken for it);
  • dark scanner edges and borders, and punched holes, near the edges of the page.

Ink in the middle of the page counts most; ink near the edges, where headers and page numbers go, counts a quarter.

How strict

  • Strict: only pages with no ink at all (specks and scanner edges allowed).
  • Normal (the start): also pages with only faint show-through, such as the empty backs of a double-sided scan.
  • Loose: also pages with only a page number or a small mark. Normal and Strict keep these and say "Only a page number", so you can decide.

What stays as it was

The pages you keep are copied as they are: their text stays sharp and selectable, and pictures, links and form fields on them stay. Links that pointed to a removed page are cut. As with Split PDF, the new file does not carry the old bookmarks or a fillable form across. A locked PDF opens with its password; its pages then go in as pictures, which the page says.

Questions

Can it remove a page I wanted to keep?

Only if you leave it ticked. Every page found is shown before anything is saved, with why it was found; a page with very faint writing (light pencil, a faded stamp) can look empty, so look at the ticked pages first.

My scanner adds a blank page after every sheet. Will this take them all out?

Yes: the empty backs of a double-sided scan are what Normal is for, even when the text on the other side shows through faintly.

Why is a page with only a page number kept?

Some documents have pages left empty on purpose, numbered. Choose Loose to take those out too, or tick them by hand.

Can I take out other pages too?

Yes: tick any page. To move, turn or copy pages as well, use Organize PDF; to keep only some pages, Split PDF.

Is my PDF uploaded or stored?

No. It is checked and saved in your browser; nothing is sent to ap7am or anywhere else.
