PDF Scan Cleanup Kit

Scanned PDFs tend to have small but frustrating problems: heavy image pages, mixed paper sizes, saved rotations, reversed page order, odd page counts for duplex printing, or hidden metadata from the scanning app. The PDF Scan Cleanup Kit gives you a local checklist before you start editing.

This first version avoids automatic deskewing, grayscale conversion, and image rewriting because those operations can increase file size or reduce quality if applied blindly in the browser. Instead, it detects safer page-level signals and points you to the right focused tool.

A practical scan cleanup flow is: crop white borders, normalize pages to A4 or Letter, reverse page order if the scan is backwards, then compress the PDF if it is still heavy.

Before printing or submitting the final scan, use Duplex Print Helper for blank pages or the PDF Upload Ready Checker for portal compatibility.
