InDesign keeps adding blank pages on the back cover of my booklet. How can I change that?

I used to have twelve pages in my book but when I added two pages to my booklet InDesign added in two blank pages with one of them being on the back cover. Is there a way to keep the page that should be on the back cover on the back?

It should, but you must set the print dialog in the setup to include blank pages. Sounds like you've added your pages, but they are not being included, so ID thinks it's still a 14-page file.

The booklet script is set up to work in multiples of 4 pages so your page of 12 plus 2 is not a multiple of 4. It's adding the others to get to 16.
