Automating adding blank pages to a .pdf doc

I know how one can insert a blank page into a .pdf document.

I need to automate the process somehow.

I have a large document that is a set of 1- or 2-page documents. I want to standardize the large document so it becomes a set of 2-page documents, so I need to insert a blank page in the 1-page documents.

I can recognize something on the page to identify the 1- and 2-page sub-documents.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

This is easily done with a script, and you can use it as a part of an Action (in Acrobat Pro) to process multiple files.

Do you want to add the blank page before or after the original one?

Thanks. I will investigate this approach.

I will need to include some logic such as:

Loop through all the pages

If current page has certain characteristic

insert a blank page before it

end if

end loop

I'll look for an example script of this format and type.

That's much more complicated. The original request of adding a blank page if the file contains only one page is a single line of code, though.
