Yes, you can. If you have a document that contains pages separated by blank ones then you can split it into multiple files at blank pages that serve as document separators. Every range of pages between blanks will be saved into separate PDF document. Blank pages will not be included into output documents. There are two possible options: pages should contain no PDF elements in order to be recognized as blank ones or they can contain a single element, that is scanned black and white image of the blank page. Software provides a way to adjust for amount of noise that is contained in the image of the scanned page. Typical application is to split PDF documents that are created from batches of scanned images of fax pages. This feature is only available in AutoSplit Pro package.
