PDF Cleanup

The PDF Cleanup module lets you tidy up a single PDF - rotating pages that were scanned sideways and removing pages you don't want - before it goes anywhere near a batch job. Like PDF Merger, this runs entirely in your browser and doesn't require a Document Type or batch job.

How to clean up a PDF

  1. Open PDF Cleanup from the Modules section of the sidebar.
  2. Drop in (or browse for) a single PDF file. The platform generates a thumbnail for every page, shown in a grid.
  3. Hover over any page thumbnail to reveal its controls:
    • Rotate counter-clockwise / Rotate clockwise - fix pages that were scanned in the wrong orientation.
    • Delete - mark a page for removal. Deleted pages are dimmed and labelled "Deleted"; click Restore to bring one back.
  4. If your PDF has more pages than fit on one screen, use the Prev / Next buttons to move between pages of thumbnails (24 at a time).
  5. Set an output filename for the cleaned file.
  6. Click Compile & Download to generate a new PDF containing only your kept pages, with your rotations applied, and download it.

Keyboard shortcuts

While hovering over a page thumbnail, you can use your keyboard instead of the on-screen buttons:

KeyAction
Right ArrowRotate the hovered page clockwise
Left ArrowRotate the hovered page counter-clockwise
Up Arrow / Page UpGo to the previous page of thumbnails
Down Arrow / Page DownGo to the next page of thumbnails
D or DeleteToggle delete on the hovered page
note

Keyboard shortcuts are ignored while you're typing in a text field, so they won't interfere with editing the output filename.
