Hi all,

Is there a function that returns the number of characters?

In this way, I could see if there are characters.

If there are I delete the blank page.

Thanks.

Daniele

Hi,

a look in the reference-guide shows you textextraction-functions. They give an empty string back, if there is no text on page. Beware: a page with vector-drawings or images is not empty, but may be without text.

Cupside,

As Ed suggests you can call GetPageText(8) and check the length of the resulting string. If it is >0 then there is text on the page.
