Personally I loosen up the brake bleeder ports on the calipers when changing pads so that the older fluid gets pumped out when pushing the pistons back into the housing. Then I do a proper bleeding.

Just have your rotors turn, and if the pad is still good, leave it on. Useless you're switching up the compound!
