Please note that you need to use a paper size similar to your document. It is typically Letter in the USA or A4 in Europe.

Step 2: Split your current PDF if you need to insert an empty page

If you need to insert an empty page inside an existing document, then you need to split your pdf document first. You need to split your PDF document into two parts.
