ONLYOFFICE is a powerful office suite that offers a range of editors for creating, editing, and managing documents, including PDFs.

The latest version 8.1 allows to easily add pages to a PDF. There are two methods to choose from, let’s see how they work.

After that, right-click on a page, and choose whether to insert a blank page before or after the current one.

Your page will appear in the chosen place.

Otherwise, you can click Insert tab in the toolbar and then Blank Page. As per usual, choose whether to insert a blank page before or after the current one.

Adobe Acrobat (desktop)

1. Launch Adobe Acrobat on your computer.
2. Select the PDF file you want to edit.
3. Click on the Organize Pages tool in the right pane (or in the left one, according to the version you are using).
4. Choose Insert and select either From File to insert a page from another document or Blank Page to add a new blank page.

OrganizePDF (online)

For those who need a fast and no-frills online tool, ILovePDF offers the OrganizePDF tool to sort, add and delete pages.

Click Select PDF file and upload your document.

Now, click on the cross icon that appears between the pages to add a blank page.

If you need to add an existing page, click on the red cross in the top right-hand corner.

Once you are done, click Organize in the bottom right pane and wait for a couple of seconds. After that, you will be able to download the new file.

2. Select a page, then click on Edit and choose Insert. You can choose whether to insert a blank page or a page from a file.

You can also click on View -> Add button at the bottom of the sidebar, then choose Insert from file or Insert blank page.
