Duplicating Pages in PDF Documents with AutoPageX™ Plug-in
Introduction
The AutoPageX plug-in "Duplicate Pages" tool can be used to quickly add duplicate pages to a PDF document. Additional copies can be added after the original pages, or at the end of the document.
In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to use this tool by adding page duplicates to a sample PDF document - the goal is to add a second version of each page, after the original. The second duplication method - adding copies to the end of the document - is also shown in step 5.
