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 PHP via 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. Add page, and insert it in a PDF.
  3. Save the output PDF using the Save method.

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


    // Open document
    $document = new Document($inputFile);

    // Add page
    $document->getPages()->add();

    // Insert an empty page in a PDF
    $document->getPages()->insert(2);

    // Save output document
    $document->save($outputFile);

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:


    // Open document
    $document = new Document($inputFile);

    // Add page
    $page1 = $document->getPages()->add();

    // Insert an empty page in a PDF
    $page2 = $document->getPages()->insert(2);

    // copy page parameters from page 1
    $page2->setCropBox($page1->getCropBox());
    $page2->setMediaBox($page1->getMediaBox());
    $page2->setTrimBox($page1->getTrimBox());
    $page2->setArtBox($page1->getArtBox());
    $page2->setBleedBox($page1->getBleedBox());
    
    // Save output document
    $document->save($outputFile);
    $document->close();
