.A blank page is one without printing on it. When you supply your content files in PDF format or order a fixed-content product, you may have the option to insert blank pages. (This depends on the product you selected.) Some examples of adding blank pages:
● For pagination reasons, you may want to make one side of a printed page blank. For example, you are ordering a booklet and pages 47 and 48 both include printed material, but you want what is on page 48 to be on a right-hand page. If you insert a blank page after page 47, the document is re-paginated so that the reverse side of page 47 is now blank and page 48 is now on the right side.
● In a duplex job, you may want to add two blank pages in a row to add an extra sheet (perhaps to serve as a separator within the job). The job is re-paginated to account for the two extra pages, and an extra sheet of paper is added to the job. If the Media can be changed, you could also select a different color for the sheet you added.
If a product includes a Blank Pages option, you can add blank pages either by using the shortcut menu in spread or thumbnail view or by selecting Blank Pages from the Options pane and completing the Blank Pages window.
You can insert blank pages only in a PDF document. This might be a PDF you supplied (or a document that was converted to PDF when you supplied it), or it might be a PDF in a fixed-content product.
If you are supplying the content for the job, note the following:
● If you add non PDF files to the job or if you indicate you are supplying material some other way (for example, on CD), you will not be able to insert blank pages.
● If you insert some blank pages, but then decide to add another PDF to the job, your blank pages will remain in place unless you try to change the order of the PDFs. In this case you will be warned that you will lose your changes and have to start over. As a result, it is a good idea to add all your PDFs and put them in the order you want before you start inserting blank pages.
● If you add several PDFs to the job, insert some blank pages, and then remove a PDF that you added, you are warned that you will lose your page changes if you continue. If you remove the PDF, the document is re-paginated, and you must re-do your changes.
1. Either in spread or thumbnail view, right-click the page before or after which you want to insert a blank page. (On a mobile device, tap Options.)
2. Select Insert Blank Before or Insert Blank After.
3. If you change your mind about a blank page, right-click it and select Remove Page; if you want to move the blank page somewhere else in the document, right-click the page, select Move to 'n' Page, and complete the dialog box that opens. (In thumbnail view, you can also drag a blank page to a different location.)
Tip If you insert two blank pages next to each other in a duplex job to add a sheet of paper, and if Change Media of this Page is available on the shortcut menu, you can change the Media of those pages (for example, select a different color) .
1. Click Blank Pages in the Options pane on the left. The Blank Pages window opens.
2. Insert a blank page:
a. At the bottom of the window, select the number of blank pages you want to add and click Add.
b. Select Insert After Page Number or Insert Before Page Number and enter the page number.
c. Repeat step b for each blank page you are inserting.
d. To
remove a blank page that you added, click .
e. Click Accept.
3. To make changes (remove a blank page or put it before/after a different page), select Insert Blank Pages again and make your changes in the Blank Pages window. Alternatively, right-click a page in the preview pane and use the shortcut menu to insert more blank pages, and possibly remove or re-arrange pages. If the product allows it, you can also drag blank pages in thumbnail view to re-arrange them.
