Batch Process to Remove Blank Pages

Hello!
We are using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to scan in a bunch of double sided documents and OCR them to a specific folder. Most of the documents are double sided, some arent. What I would like to do is to leave the scanner on double sided to scan in all documents, what this does of course is on single page documents it will scan in a blank page on the "other" side.
Is there a way within Adobe Acrobat 9 pro to remove this blank pages, preferrably with Batch processing? I have tried to use the Preflight to and remove empty pages, but it didnt seem to work??? Should it? Anybody else have any experience with this?

Actually, PDF page content that is "empty" and a "blank" page (of the sort you describe) are not the same.
You may find that someone will have to view the 2-sided PDFs and, in the Pages panel, select all the blank pages and then delete them.
Be well...

This can be done with a script, but a script can only assume a page is
blank if it has not text in it. It can't know if there are images or other
graphic elements in a page.

Acrobat 9.4.4 crashes when running batch process to remove metadata

I am attempting to run a batch process to remove metadata from all documents within a folder. Only one or two documents will process before Acrobat crashes. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

Batch Processing, Security Removal

I am attempting to OCR large batches of documents with Adobe Acrobat 9. Some of the documents have security settings which make them un-editable. Is there any way to use a batch process to remove these settings?
Thanks!

To change "password security" to "none" in a sequence you need to set the appropriate preferences first to do that.
In 'Edit - Preferences ...' chose Batch processing and set Security Method to Password Security.
After that there will be a password request every time before you run a sequence, but now it's possible to run sequences with protected files.

Batch Processing Comment Summaries - auto removal blank page?

Good Morning,
I was hoping some one would be able to help me. I have folders of pdf's that contain multiple sticky notes. I was wanting to use the Advanced --> Document Processing --> Batch Processing --> Comment Summary Batch to put all information in the sticky notes onto a secondary page summarizing them. This works great!! However I need to keep the original pages and want (only if there is one) the comment summary to print on the next page. I do not want the page that says "no comment summary for this page" that also inserts. Is there a setting to turn that feature off while still providing the entire original document and the summarized comment pages? Otherwise that is a lot of time to go and delete that page out of thousands of documents.
Thank you so much,
Amanda

In the default php.ini is set open_basedir which limits work with php only to few directories (and directories bellow them). There is set /srv/http, /home,/tmp and /usr/share/pear by default.
To allow your vhost you should add /data/www or set empty value.

How to remove blank page in sap script

hi ,
I have a problem in sap script. I copied one std. script and made some changes i.e removing the unwanted pages from the script.
no where NEW-PAGE kind of command is declared in window but still a new blank page is coming in printing.
i checked with the posted comments in forum n what i found .. i did that part for my script..but no progress.
so help needed.
thnx,
m

Hi,
If there is no any "NEW-PAGE" command in your any window, Pls check following probable causes.
1. Check your main Window, may be there is blank line at the last of the main window, so check that and remove that,so you won't get the blank page
2.Please check what have you defined as the NEXT PAGE for your first page. If so change it and make the first page itself as the next page.
Hope it help you.

How to remove blank pages after endnotes?

I am formatting an academic book, and am receiving each chapter separtely, piece by piece, and each chapter is a separate file. The author wants footnote numbers in the text, but wants the references to be formatted as combined endnotes at the end of the book (not footnotes at the bottom of the page). Each chapter's footnotes begins with #1. I have inserted the footnote numbers, and then gone to the end of the chapter/document and deleted the endnote text from that chapter. However, Word still thinks that the endnotes are there and won't let me delete the extra blank pages where the endnotes text once existed. I have tried going into "Normal" and then Footnoes and removing the "endnote spearater," as well as the "endnote continuation separater": this has removed the lines, but not the pages. Any ideas? Suggestions? What if I don't insert the endnote text at all in each chapter, but simply create a new document with the end of book endnotes - woudl this work? Thanks.

HI Julie,
Are you asking about doing this in Microsoft Word? If so, a better place to ask would be the MS Word (Mac) forum at Microsoft's site. Click the link to get there directly.

Preflight Not Removing Blank Pages

I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Windows 8 OS. I frequently scan to PDF on a network printer over which I cannot control the print settings. When I print 2-sided, there will often be blank pages (where there is no text on the second side). I've tried to use the Preflight tool to remove empty pages. The 'fixup' rule will work to remove empty pages, but I have to first go into View/Show-Hide/Navigation Panes/Content then scroll down the pages to find the blanks. Then expand and right-click the XObject and delete it. Only then I can go to the Preflight tool, select the 'remove empty pages' fixup. It asks to resave the file then proceeds with the fix and removes the blank pages. If I don't remove the XObject, the 'remove empty pages' tool' will resave an identical file and not remove the blank pages.
You'd think there would be a better way ????
Steve

Ok, so I'd like to get rid of the white pages. Is there a way other than a 3rd party utility?

Remove blank page from document in Pages

HI there
I have created a document only require 1 page however it has created 2 pages. The second page is blank and I wish to delete it.
Thanks

It really helps if you tell us what version of Pages and what you have created and how.
Generally however you probably just have something on that "blank" page and need to delete it:

Hi,
Please follow the below steps.
1. in your 2nd page, After your first node (any window, text etc...). Create-> Flow Logic -> Program lines.
In that program lines, Write code as below (First create a variable in Global seettings-> w_flag type flag).
if i_tab[] is initial.
w_flag = 'X'.
endif.
2. On same node create->Flow logic-> command. In Command node, First, Check the box for "GOto New Page". Give your next page that is your 3rd page. And in Condition tab put following:
Field name -> w_flag ,,,, Rlation operator -> = ,,,, Com value 'X'.
It will directly take you to your 3rd page if i_tab is initial. Do the same for 3rd page..
Must be solving your problem

Batch processing problem: merge eacg page's layers into ONE

hi, all
I have a big problem here.
I have a 598 pages' PDF document and a logo image (jpg), now, i wanna import this logo image file as a PDF layer and merge it to every page's layers in the PDF document, the desired result document should like this: each page in the PDF document has this logo image merged into it.
just like the following procedure:
        PDF           logo        mergeResult
===+========+======+==================
P1    layers         jpg          layers+jpg -> ONE layer
P2    layers         jpg          layers+jpg -> ONE layer
P3    layers         jpg          layers+jpg -> ONE layer
so, i consider using javascript in my acrobat pro 9.
What could i start with?
thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
I find some detailed instruction of this flattenPages() function in Acrobat Javascript Reference document, it reads as follows,
Converts all annotations in a page range to page contents. If a page range is not specified, all annotations in the document are converted.
Note:Great care must be used when using this method. All annotations—including form fields, comments, and links—on the specified range of pages are flattened. They may have appearances, but they will no longer be annotations.
and, i have try this method as soon as your reply in my sight.
However, this operation could not merge the watermark and the page content. The logo image and the page content are still TWO seperate objects.
In a word, i just wanna convert any elements in the page into ONE. Exactly one.
Thanks so muck for reply above.

URGENT, please help...Removing password security using Batch Processing

I have a few thousand PDFs which me and a team of colleagues have password protected but these now need the security removed. Is there anyway we can batch process the removal this security? I was thinking that if I added them to the watched folder and ran the batch process I've set up which has no security I may be asked for the password/ s (there are 5 passwords I used in total) and it could remove the password for those attached to that password and then I run the same for the other 4 passwords....any ideas at all would be really appreaciated.
Many Thanks
Claire

Two solutions come to my mind:
1. As i remember there is the option to run a batch-processing in Acrobat (Prof.). Maybe you can set up a new batch which removes the protection.
2.
Otherwise i have a programm (with a special pdf library) which could be adapted to do that. You can contact me for some details.
