Quick answer

Clean the PDF before submitting it anywhere.

Blank pages, duplicate scans and wrong document pages make PDFs harder to review and may increase file size. Remove only unnecessary pages, then open the final file before uploading.

Why extra PDF pages create problems

Extra pages can confuse the person reviewing your file. A blank scan, duplicate ID page or wrong document page may also make the file larger than the upload limit.

Cleaning the PDF before submission makes the file easier to review, share, print and store.

  • Blank scanned pages waste file size.
  • Duplicate pages make the document look careless.
  • Wrong pages can reveal unnecessary information.
  • Extra pages may cause upload size problems.

Which pages should you remove?

Remove only pages that are not required. If you are not sure, keep the original PDF as backup and check the form instructions before deleting anything from the final copy.

  • Blank pages after scanning.
  • Duplicate certificate or ID copies.
  • Wrong pages from another document.
  • Old draft pages or extra receipts not required.
  • Pages added by mistake during merging.
