How to do insert an empty page to a document

To achieve this workflow, the primary API you will need is the PDF Merger. It allows you to insert a page at the beginning or end of a document. If you need to insert a page in the middle of the document, you will require the PDF Splitter API. In case you don’t have an empty page available, you can use either the pdf/edit/add API or the PDF Edit Add Helper tool.

Inserting an Empty Page at the Start or End of a PDF Document:

If you already have an empty PDF page, please follow the steps below. Otherwise, you can quickly generate an empty PDF page by visiting the website https://app.pdf.co/pdf-edit-add-helper. Simply click on the empty canvas, save the file, and click “Generate PDF and Preview”.

  1. Start by determining where you want to place the empty page in your document.
  2. Use the PDF Merger to merge the pages.
  3. To insert the empty page at the beginning, include the source file link of the empty page followed by a comma, and then add the link to the main PDF document.
  4. If you prefer to place the empty page at the end, include the source file link of the main PDF followed by a comma, and then add the link to the empty page.
  5. Execute the request, and you will receive a new PDF file with the inserted empty page.

Inserting an Empty Page between Two or More Pages in a PDF Document:

If you already have an empty PDF page, please follow the steps below. If you need to generate an empty page, you can use the website https://app.pdf.co/pdf-edit-add-helper. Click on the empty canvas, save the file, and click “Generate PDF and Preview”.

  1. Start by determining where you want to insert the empty page in your document.
  2. Use the PDF Splitter to split the PDF document at the desired location for the empty page.
  3. For example, if you have a 2-page PDF and want to insert the empty page in the middle, set the pages parameter value to 1,2.
  4. This will generate two PDF outputs: the first containing page 1 and the second containing page 2.
  5. Using the PDF Merger, add the source file links in the url parameter in the following order: 1st PDF output link, empty page file link, 2nd PDF output link, separated by commas.
  6. Execute the request, and you will receive a new PDF file with three pages.
