Automatically adding blank pages after odd pages in packages

Working with Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows XP, we are trying to:

- Create a package
- Print the package such that, for documents with an odd number of pages, a blank page will automatically be added at the end so that it forces the next page to always be on the right hand side (if reading it like a book)

Currently, we just created a single page blank PDF, opened the package, and manually searched for any documents that have an odd number of pages. Then we just drag the blank page to the end of that document before printing. If anyone knows of an automated way, that would be great!

Hi SeattleUser,

There's no way within the Acrobat UI itself but you might want to wander down a couple of doors to the scripting forum. If you have no luck in there then maybe try a search for a plug-in/external app which can help?

All the best,
