Hi.

I am currently using iText to create and copy PDFs. I have some pdfs that have blank pages (no text, no image), and I would like to detect and remove those pages when I come across them.  If I can detect them, then I can remove them, however I’ve had trouble detecting them. Any suggestions?

This is the code I am using to read the pages.

PdfImportedPage page;

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(path);

reader.consolidateNamedDestinations();

int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();

document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));

writer = new PdfCopy(document, new FileOutputStream(outFile));

document.open();

for (int i = 0; i < n; ) {

  ++i;

  page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);

// I know I need to modify something in this space.

  writer.addPage(page);

}

Disclaimer: this is based off of sample code
