: Is it possible to "ripple delete" in Adobe Illustrator to automatically move everything up without manually selecting and moving everything? So if you've used Premiere Pro then this will make

"Very long document" and "Adobe Illustrator" don't really go together. As @joojaa mentioned, you very well may be better off using InDesign for a document of any length. Artboards in Illustrator are there to allow you to have separate canvases to work on, but shouldn't be used as "pages" of a long document. InDesign is a much better tool.

If you needed a hole in a piece of wood, you could technically use a hammer and nail to do the job, but you'd have a much easier time (and many better options) by using a drill.

All that said, to answer your main question... No, there isn't a good way in Illustrator to do what you're asking (but there is in InDesign!).

No there is no such thing. There really can not be such a thing without inventing something to represent nothing, other than empty. But if you can identify anddescribe what that nothing is then I'm sure such a tool could be built.

See empty space is as valid design as nonempty space. Maybe your looking to compress/auto layout artboards, but why not use InDesign then?
