Choose blank or duplicate

Add blank pages creates empty pages. Duplicate pages repeats existing content. For a three-page PDF, entering 1, 2, 2, 3 in Duplicate pages makes a four-page output with page 2 twice.

Insert blank pages precisely

Enter the number of blank pages to add. Enter 0 to place them before page 1, enter 2 to place them after page 2, or leave the position empty to append them. New blank pages match a neighboring page size.

Keep the page order clear

In Duplicate pages, type the full desired output order using page numbers that start at one. Organize pages accepts a similar order when rearrangement is your main goal. Both create a separate download.

Check the packet

Open the output and verify the page count, the pages around each insertion, and the size of added pages in a mixed-size document. Keep the original if forms or signatures need to remain valid.
