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 ????

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

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.

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...

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.

OWA 2007 not displaying (blank page)

Hi there..
I also had this problem, took a while to figure it out..
At first the page would not load and there would be a yellow exclamation mark in the bottom left corner, if you click that it would say “syntax error on line 7 of login.aspx” or something to that effect. After trying may things, I removed and then re-created the OWA virtual directory in IIS using . After this, the yellow exclamation mark in the bottom left corner went away and you were presented with a blank white page.
After much search around for some log file or explanation for why this was happening, I once again recreated the OWA virtual directory, checked all rights and permissions and still the blank white page.
In absolute desperation, I looked at the code in the source code for the OWA site, here are some of the relevant bits:



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; CHARSET=utf-8">
<meta name="Robots" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
<title>Microsoft Exchange - Outlook Web Access</title>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/owa/8.0.709.0/themes/base/logon.css">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/owa/8.0.709.0/themes/base/owafont.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/owa/8.0.709.0/scripts/premium/flogon.js"></script>
Compared to another server of mine:



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; CHARSET=utf-8">
<meta name="Robots" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
<title>Microsoft Exchange - Outlook Web Access</title>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/owa/8.0.685.24/themes/base/logon.css">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/owa/8.0.685.24/themes/base/owafont.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/owa/8.0.685.24/scripts/premium/flogon.js"></script>
Notice the difference in the paths.. the OWA virtual directory looks like this: (http://www.g7web.net/downloads/owa1.jpg)
Perhaps a dodgy update on the 29th or something, whatever the reason the files in the 8.0.709.0 folder don’t seem to be working, so, I used the files from the 8.0.685.24 folder and copied them into the 8.0.709.0 folder, now everything works!
Not sure what update of patch caused the problem, will do some more investigation into it.
Hope this helps someone.

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.

Data Merge - Not removing blank lines when more than one in a row

I am having the same problem as mentioned here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2109531#2109531 That post is for some reason set as "answered" though the poster said the latest update did not resolve the issue. Has anyone found a solution to this issue?
Thanks much,

I"d suggest you try running the merge WITHOUT removing blank lines, then use GREP to remove empty paragraphs. There's a pre-written saved query in the list.

When I click on a tab it comes up blank. Before it came up with website, how do I correct it so it's not a blank page?

I just want to be able to click on on the tab and have a search engine come up instead of a blank page. It used to do that but now it doesn't. How can I correct the problem???
Thanks.

The default action in Firefox when you open a new tab is to display a blank page. Many extensions can change that action, try this one.

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:

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.

Itunes will open on my computer, but the actual itunes store will not open, blank page...HELP

I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes store pop up like they normally would when browsing the itunes store but when I click on one of them, it is a blank page. Is there a setting I need to change? Does it just take an extremely long time to load? Please help!!

Bucktr09:
I'm having the exact same problem. I upgraded to the newest version of iTunes on my iMac and ever since I did the store is a blank white screen. I can get my library content but the store is a no go. Is there any one out there with a solution?
