I've got a PDF and I want a fast way to insert a blank page every second page (except at the end). E.g. my PDF has the pages
1: A
2: B
3: C
4: D
it should look like:
1: A
2: empty
3: B
4: empty
5: C
6: empty
7: D
Is there any easy scripting way to do so? I thought of using pdftk but I don't know exactly if it's the easiest way to do... I'm running Windows 7.
Thanks so far!
Had also this idea for reviewing paper. Here is the full script.
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
echo "Usage example: ./bashscript src.pdf"
exit $E_BADARGS
else
NUM=$(pdftk $1 dump_data | grep 'NumberOfPages' | awk '{split($0,a,": "); print a[2]}')
COMMSTR=''
for i in $(seq 1 $NUM);
do
COMMSTR="$COMMSTR A$i B1 "
done
$(echo "" | ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 - pageblanche.pdf)
$(pdftk A=$1 B=pageblanche.pdf cat $COMMSTR output 'mod_'$1)
(pdfnup 'mod_'$1 --nup 2x1 --landscape --outfile 'print_'$1)
$(rm pageblanche.pdf && rm 'mod_'$1)
fi
#for f in *.pdf; do ./bashscript.sh $f; done 2> /dev/null
