Deleting blank pages in PDFs automatically

Greetings. We have a Ricoh Multipurpose scanner that scans documents to a network folder as a PDF. Because there
are a mix of Duplex and single page original documents, blank pages are created in some of the PDFs. Our staff has been
manually deleting them using Acrobat Pro. We would like to use a product that can automatically scan the network
folder and take the blank pages out. Does Adobe have such a product? If not can someone recommend a 3rd party product that
they have used.
Thanks so much for your help. DonaldF129

Bernd:
Thanks for your note. I'm unfamiliar with the Preflight tool - where would I get this. Is the "Batch Sequence" entered
into the Preflight tool?
Thanks again DonaldF129

  • Photo Book: Alert Symbol/Deleting Blank Pages?

    Greetings,
    Two questions:
    (I'm assembling a photo book for the first time...)
    1. What does it mean when there's a small yellow alert symbol (a yellow triangle) in the upper right corner of my image?
    2. How do I delete blank pages from the end of my photo book? I've created too many...
    Thanks!
    -Mark

    It means your photo is below 180 dpi

    PS you may find a couple of things useful
    1 - iPhoto have a neat system called HELP - click on the HELP menu and ask your question
    The reaults for "Yellow Triangle" includes the following
    If you see a low-resolution alert
    A digital photo is made up of millions of individual dots of color, called “pixels.” A photo’s “resolution” is the number of dots per inch (dpi) that it contains. The higher the resolution, the more dots per inch. Some photos look jagged or blurry when printed if their resolution is too low.
    When you include low-resolution photos in a book, calendar, card, or print order, an alert symbol marks those photos.
    To improve a photo’s print quality:
    Choose a smaller print size. In a book or calendar layout, you can do this by increasing the number of photos per page.
    If you previously cropped the photo, revert to its original version, and then crop off a smaller portion, or leave it uncropped.
    If you positioned a photo within its frame by zooming in on it, zoom out of the photo.
    If you continue to see a low-resolution alert after trying these methods, you can still order prints of the image or include it in your book, calendar, or card, but it may not print as clearly as your other photos.

  • Can't delete blank page in combined files PDF

    I combined a number of files to create a new PDF binder in Acrobat X, then added a blank page in the middle using Tools > More Insert Options > Insert blank page. I later decided I didn't need the blank page and tried to delete it but received this error message:
    One or more pages are in use and could not be deleted.
    I gave up, trashed the PDF, and started all over again. But the new binder included the blank page in the same spot, and it won't let me delete it! I tried creating the PDF using my old Acrobat Pro 8. It created the file correctly, but when I closed the file and reopened it, it opened in Acrobat X - with the blank page again! How do I get rid of the blank page?

    Open the file in Acrobat, delete the blankpage, and save the file.

  • Delete Blank Page in Form Created in Designer ES 8.2

    A fairly simple, straight-forward 3-page form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.  At the end of the form (when saved and opened as a dynamic PDF) there is a rogue page at the end.  I cannot figure out how to delete the blank page.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • HELP! BLANK PAGES ON PDF

    Hi From Paris, France. I need your help, i ceated my 4th book (on iphoto 5.0.4), it's a large one with the maximum pages (100) and around 280 pictures. When i saved it as a pdf file o have a look before ordering, i had the bad surprise to discover lots of blank pages, i tried several times with the same result. After reading the topics in the iphoto 5 forum, i tried to find the prefs to reduce the dpi's from 300 to 230, but apparently it's not possible on Tiger anymore. So i opened some pictures on PS and reduced the dpi and no change! So finally i deleted some pages (thing i really didn't want to do!) & it's better but i still have 2 or 3 blank pages. So my last hope is with you, has someone had this problem + the solution , & what if i buy the last version of iphoto, will it work? Last question, but not least, if i buy the last version when i install it what happens to all my photos & books? I hate apple for offering a book with 100 pages & at the end, when you've spend hours & hourss on it, you discover that the system has a bug!
    Many many thanks if someone can help!

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
    You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
    Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.

  • Html report shows blank page if pdf report is also

    HI

    Hi Karen,
    I would like to provide the document "Report Design: Best Practices and Guidelines " to you and hope it can provide some help.
    Avoiding Blank Pages
    Sometimes, you will see blank pages when you output reports to a physical page format such as PDF or print. Generally, this will happen when the size of the report body exceeds
    the size of the page. To ensure that all the contents fit on a single page, the body width plus the margins should be less than the defined page width. A textbox or other report item can cause the width of the body to exceed the page width, even when the portion
    of the item that exceeds the width has no visible contents. In addition, report items growing horizontally (matrix data regions and images set to automatically Autosize or Fit) can also cause the body to grow.

  • Deleting blank pages

    Just spent an hour+ on the phone with a product specialist regarding this problem. Never, ever should something so simple be so difficult...
    This is what worked for me, and should for you, too. It is basically a blow-by-blow of what Peggy attempts to describe in her post--which in theory is separating an entire Pages document into individual "pages".
    1. For ease of viewing, reduce view to 25-50%.
    2. Go to View>Show Layout.
    3. Go to View>Show Page Thumbnails.
    4. Go to the blank page that you want to delete in the regular view screen. (For sake of my example, it is page 3 of a 5-page Pages doc.)
    5. Start at bottom R of blank page and mouse-click-drag toward L top of page. This should highlight a blue bar along the top margin or a series of paragraph place holders.
    6. Delete (and don't worry that all your text has separated from the layout of the rest of the doc or pulled up, the next step should remedy that.)
    7. Go to Insert>Section Break. (Yes, it will add in the deleted page again.)
    8. Next, go to page 2 (page preceding the page you want to delete, repeat highlighting click as per step 1.)
    9. DO NOT press DELETE this time, but go directly to Insert>Section Break.
    10. Now, click on your thumbnails view. Your page three should now stand alone in its own yellow box, meaning it is its own section.
    11. With that blank page highlighted yellow, you can either delete or go to EDIT>Delete Pages. This should get rid of the blasted blank page.
    12. Check the remainder of your doc to be sure no other pics or text have "disappeared". I've seen such postings, and it happened to me on the first pass.
    CAVEAT! Check the remainder of your doc to make sure photos and text are still present WITH EACH STEP. In the first trial run of this fix-it, random pics toward the end of my doc were gone. Thankfully, I hadn't saved, so I quit out without saving, thus recovering what appeared to be lost.
    Finally, it seems the default on this program should be that each individual page stands on its own. This same issue of lumping all the pages in one Pages doc. becomes more of a problem when you want to shuffle or work on layout, swapping out spreads, etc.

    Can you describe a bit more - remember we know nothing except what you tell us
    To see exactly what will be printed preview via this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference
    a book must be 20 pages (10 sheets of paper) - you can not delete pages below that limit
    to delete a page select it and use the delete page command
    To add a photo or text to a page select the page and change the layout for that page (in the tool bar below the book)
    Do these shots in the dark help?

  • Blank pages in pdf file!?!

    I just created a 100-page book with 567 photos. All looks well in iPhoto, but when I "order" the book and then look at the generated pdf file, the first 74 pages look fine, but pages 75 to 100 are blank! I've repeated this process several times and each time the results are the same.
    Anyone have any idea why and what I can do about these blank pages? I'd like to submit the book to Apple as soon as possible, but I don't want to take a chance of receiving a book with 25 blank pages.
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    I'm using the Picture Book theme. And after much tinkering, I think I've found the problem -- and the solution.
    Remembering posts from some time ago discussing ways to improve the quality of the printed photos -- including tweaking the iphoto prefs file -- I used the Property List Editor app to check my book settings (BookTargetDPI-BookTargetMediumIMageDPI-BookTargetSmallImageDPI). The three items were all set to 300. I reduced them to 250 each, then tried 'ordering' the book again. Lo, and behold, there were now 20 fewer blank pages. So I set about playing with different combinations of settings, trying to find the optimum resolutions that would print all 100 pages. I've ended up with something like 250-220-220.
    Now I have no idea what these settings actually control, or what the optimum settings would be for this or any other book project, but clearly, they affect how many pages are accepted for printing. While the 300-300-300 settings worked for my last book, that book was only 20 pages. For this current book, those numbers are too high.
    I looked at many of the other posts in this forum and wonder if those having trouble with blank pages haven't also played with these settings. I tried moving the iPhoto prefs file out of the Library/Preferences folder in order to force iPhoto to create a new file with default settings, and discovered that 150-150-300 seem to be Apple's preferred settings. But the very first book I ordered from Apple, which used those settings, was a bit disappointing in terms of resolution. Hence my boosting of these numbers for the second book.
    The problem of blank pages could also have something to do with file size. At the higher resolutions, the generated pdf file tipped the scales at a beefy 193 MB, but at the lower resolutions, the pdf file is a relatively svelte 133 MB. There might be some limitation built into iPhoto to prevent people from trying to send1 GB pdf files to Apple's printers.
    In my case at least, the problem is NOT related to the number of photos I'm using. After playing with the numbers, I actually went back and added a dozen more photos, pushing the total to 587 across 100 pages. And with the new resolutions, all photos on all pages print fine.
    I wish I knew what all of this meant and how it could be used to predict iPhoto's book creation behavior, but at least I'll be able to print this book now.
    Thanks for your quick reply! Hope my experiences help someone else with similar problems.

  • "Blank page" text on automatically created empty pages

    I want "blank page" text to appear automatically on any page that FrameMaker_8 adds to create an even pagecount. Is this possible?

    > Is there no way to tell FM8 which master page to use for an automatically created left last page?
    Nope, unless you want to have the default MP "Left" laid out as a TPILB (This Page Intentionally Left Blank). That also requires creating a new "Left.Content" MP, and making sure that a critical mass of commonly used Paragraph Formats are mapped to it or "Right".
    What FM needs, and doesn't have, is a notation for the MasterPageMappingTable that controls what happens when there is no Flow A or other user generated content for a page.
    Back in the real world, always first work Plan 0, which is to talk management or the customer out of requiring TPILBs in the first place.
    TPILBs: I know how to do 'em. Glad we don't need 'em here.

  • Officejet 6500 prints 1 blank page from pdf files and nothing else

    We just installed this printer.  It prints from websites, word, quickbooks just fine.  It also successfully copies and faxes.  When we try to print from a adobe pdf attachment it prints one blank page and that is all.  This also happens when we try to print from googledocs.
