About Add Blank Pages to PDF
Sometimes a PDF needs gaps in it. You may want a blank page after the cover so that the contents start on a right hand page, a blank page after every slide for notes, or one extra page at the end so a double sided print does not leave the last sheet blank on the back. This tool inserts blank pages wherever you tell it to.
Choose where they go: at the start, at the end, after one page, after every few pages, or just enough to make the page count even or a multiple of four. For booklets, a multiple of four matters, because every sheet of paper has two pages on each side. By default each blank page takes the size of the page beside it, so a landscape section stays landscape, and you can choose A4 or Letter instead. All other pages are left exactly as they were, with their text and links.

Frequently asked questions
What size are the blank pages?
By default they match the page next to them. You can choose A4 or US Letter for every blank page instead.
How do I make the page count even?
Choose Make the page count even. One blank page is added at the end if the count is odd, and nothing is added if it is already even.
What does After every few pages do?
It adds the blanks after pages 2, 4, 6 and so on if you choose 2. With 6 pages and a gap of 2, three blank pages are added, after pages 2, 4 and 6.
Does it change my other pages?
No. They keep their content, size, links and notes. Only new empty pages are added between them.
Is there a limit?
The finished file may not have more than 2,000 pages. The tool tells you if your choice would go over.
