Add Pages in PDF

Add or Insert Page in a PDF File

Aspose.PDF for Java lets you insert a page to a PDF document at any location in the file as well as add pages to the end of a PDF file. You need to pass the location you want to insert the blank page to to the insert method. This section shows how to add pages to a PDF with Aspose.PDF for Java.

Insert Empty Page in a PDF File at Desired Location

The following code snippet shows how to insert an empty page into a PDF file:

  1. Create a Document class object with the input PDF file.
  2. Call the PageCollection collection’s Insert method with specified index.
  3. Save the output PDF using the Save method.

The following code snippet shows you how to insert a page in a PDF file.

package com.aspose.pdf.examples;

import com.aspose.pdf.*;

public class ExampleAddPages {

    private static String _dataDir = "/home/admin1/pdf-examples/Samples/";

    public static void InsertEmptyPageInPDFFileAtDesiredLocation() {
        Document document = new Document();

        // Add page
        document.getPages().add();

        // Insert a empty page in a PDF
        document.getPages().insert(2);

        // Save updated PDF
        document.save(_dataDir + "InsertEmptyPage_out.pdf");
    }

In example above, we added empty page with default parameters. If you need to make page size the same as another page in document you shold add a few lines of code:

    public static void InsertEmptyPageInPDFFileAtDesiredLocation01() {
        Document document = new Document();

        // Add page
        Page page1 = document.getPages().add();

        // Insert a empty page in a PDF
        Page page2 = document.getPages().insert(2);
        ;
        // copy page parameters from page 1
        page2.setArtBox(page1.getArtBox());
        page2.setBleedBox(page1.getBleedBox());
        page2.setCropBox(page1.getCropBox());
        page2.setMediaBox(page1.getMediaBox());
        page2.setTrimBox(page1.getTrimBox());

        // Save updated PDF
        document.save(_dataDir + "InsertEmptyPage_out.pdf");
    }

Add an Empty Page at the End of a PDF File

Sometimes, you want to ensure that a document ends on an empty page. This topic explains how to insert an empty page at the end of the PDF document.

To insert an empty page at the end of a PDF file:

  1. Create a Document class object with the input PDF file.
  2. Call the PageCollection collection’s Add method, without any parameters.
  3. Save the output PDF using the Save method.

The following code snippet shows you how to insert an empty page at the end of a PDF file.

public static void AddAnEmptyPageAtTheEndOfAPDFFile() {

        Document document = new Document();
        // Add page
        document.getPages().add();

        // Insert an empty page at the end of a PDF file
        document.getPages().add();

        // Save updated PDF
        document.save(_dataDir + "InsertEmptyPageAtEnd_out.pdf");
    }

}
