FAQ: Splitting PDF by Blank Pages

How does splitting by blank pages work?

Tiff PDF Cleaner treats blank pages as document separators. When it encounters a blank page, it starts a new output file. Each section between blanks becomes a separate PDF. The blank separator pages are removed.

Can I split and remove blanks in one operation?

Yes. The program splits the PDF at blank page boundaries and removes the blank pages simultaneously. Output files contain only content pages.

What if I have multi-document PDFs from a scanner?

This is the primary use case. When you scan a stack of different documents with blank separator sheets, Tiff PDF Cleaner splits them into individual PDF files automatically.

How are the output files named?

Output files are named based on the source filename with a sequential suffix (e.g., document_001.pdf, document_002.pdf). The destination folder preserves your original folder structure.

Can I set how sensitive the blank detection is?

Yes. The tolerance and workspace settings control blank page detection. Adjust them to match your scanner output — noisy blanks, pages with headers only, or perfectly white pages.

Is command-line splitting available?

Yes. TiffPDFCleaner.exe supports splitting by blank pages from the command line. Schedule it as a post-scan step to automatically separate multi-document scans.
