These PDFs, when combined together, will have each section start on the right hand side of the page. Plus each section will be individual for easier removal or replacement in the project manual. Is there a technique for creating a blank page after each odd numbered page? David G. Axt, CCS, CSI, SCIP Specifications Consultant/Web Publisher www.localproductreps.com Robert E.

Some do this in-house, and some ask their reprographics company to do it to the pdfs before printing. There may be a feature in your spec software that that does this (SpecLink does, for example, if you select "start sections on odd page" or something like that). You can add an extra page to pdfs in Acrobat (click on the "Document" drop-down menu).

For online publication, why would you want a blank page?
