Clean Up a Scanned PDF

Turn a messy scanned PDF into a cleaner document before sharing, uploading or archiving it.

How to use

  1. Review the scanned PDF.
  2. Delete blank or duplicate pages.
  3. Rotate pages with the wrong orientation.
  4. Reorder pages into the final document sequence.

Typical scan problems

Scans often include blank pages, duplicated pages, pages in the wrong order or pages rotated sideways.

Recommended workflow

Remove pages that do not belong, rotate pages that are sideways and reorder the document before downloading the final version.

Important limitation

Deleting a page removes the whole page. If sensitive text remains on another page, remove or edit it before sharing.
