If they're random and just junk characters that you're sure weren't supposed to be something of importance, yes, remove them, but keep blank pages intact. It helps to maintain proper pagination. Take care.

Okay, when validating a book I am finding at times a page where I am guessing was a picture but now... There may be a line or two of text and then a number of lines of randum chars. In cases like this should we remove the randum chars? Kaitlyn Kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
