Example

Example: a loan packet from the office scanner, put in the order the lender wants

loan-docs.pdf came out of a scanner’s document feeder with two-sided scanning on: 9 pages. Three single-sided sheets brought their blank backs along, the W-2 went through on its side, and the bank statement landed ahead of the pay stubs. The lender wants the cover letter, the W-2, the pay stubs, then the statement.

  1. Press Find blank pages. Pages 2, 7 and 9 have almost nothing darker than paper on them, so they are switched off; they stay in the grid, faded with a dashed border, and a click brings one back.
  2. The W-2 (page 3) lies with its top to the left: press Rotate right once, a quarter turn clockwise. Only the page’s rotation setting changes; the scan is not redrawn.
  3. Drag the two pay stubs (pages 6 and 8) in front of page 4, or move them with the arrows. The counter now reads 6 of 9 pages kept.
  4. Press Save PDF.

– 2, 7, 9Blank backs, removed

loan-docs-organized.pdf, 6 pages in the lender’s order, all upright. The file is written fresh from the kept pages, so the blank backs are not in it at all rather than hidden, and the scanned pages are copied as they were, not compressed again.

How it works

  1. Drop a PDF onto the box. A thumbnail of every page appears.
  2. Click a page to remove it; click it again to bring it back.
  3. Drag pages into a new order, or use the arrow buttons under each thumbnail. Use the rotate buttons for pages that were scanned sideways.
  4. Press Save PDF to download a new file with only the pages you kept, in the order shown.

Frequently asked questions

Does removing pages make the file smaller?
Usually, yes. A new PDF is written with only the pages you kept, so images and fonts used only by the removed pages are left out. Tools that merely hide pages keep the full size.
Are bookmarks and form fields kept?
Page content, links and comments on the kept pages come along. Bookmarks and document-wide form settings are not carried over, so check a fillable form after saving.
Can I split a PDF into several files instead?
Use Split PDF for that. This tool always produces one PDF.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Thumbnails are rendered and the new file is written in your browser.
Can it find the blank pages of a two-sided scan?
Yes. Find blank pages looks at a small image of every page and switches off each one where fewer than 2 in 1,000 pixels are darker than paper, so a greyish empty back from a scanner is caught too. Check what it switched off before saving: a page holding only a page number or one short line can count as blank as well, and one click keeps it.
Does rotating or reordering lower the quality?
No. Rotate left and Rotate right change the page’s rotation setting, and the pages are copied into the new file as they are: text stays text and scans are not compressed again. To flip a stack that was scanned back to front, Reverse turns the whole order round in one click.
What are the free limits?
The free plan allows 20 MB per file and 5 runs per day, and free PDFs end with a small “Made with nouplo.com” line. Pro removes both.
