How do you delete duplicate pages? Is there a way to do it automatically rather than manually? This is for very large files with 100+ pages.

Acrobat won't know a page is a "duplicate" based on content, so it can't do it automatically unless the pages are always in the same place.

If they are, you can use JavaScript to delete pages by range, e.g.

this.deletePages({nStart: 1, nEnd: 3});

You can create a script that compares two pages based on their content (and can even check if the words are in the same location), but not if there are visual differences such as a different image in the page.
