Add Empty Pages to a PDF Document
The following steps show you how to add empty pages to a specific position of a PDF document and its end.
- Create a PdfDocument instance.
- Load a sample PDF document using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
- Create a new blank page and insert it into a specific position of the document using PdfDocument.getPages().insert(int index) method.
- Create another new blank page with the specified size and margins and then append it to the end of the document using PdfDocument.getPages().add(java.awt.geom.Dimension2D size, PdfMargins margins) method.
- Save the document to another file using PdfDocument.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.*;
import com.spire.pdf.graphics.PdfMargins;
public class InsertEmptyPage {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a PdfDocument instance
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
//Load a sample PDF document
pdf.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Test1\\Desktop\\sample.pdf");
//Insert a blank page to the document as the second page
pdf.getPages().insert(1);
//Add an empty page to the end of the document
pdf.getPages().add(PdfPageSize.A4, new PdfMargins(0, 0));
//Save the document to another file
pdf.saveToFile("output/insertEmptyPage.pdf");
pdf.close();
}
}
Delete an Existing Page in a PDF Document
The following steps are to delete a specific page of a PDF document.
- Create a PdfDocument instance.
- Load a sample PDF document using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
- Remove a specific page of the document using PdfDocument.getPages().removeAt(int index) method.
- Save the document to another file using PdfDocument.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.*;
public class DeletePage {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a PdfDocument instance
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
//Load a sample PDF document
pdf.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Test1\\Desktop\\sample.pdf");
//Delete the second page of the document
pdf.getPages().removeAt(1);
//Save the document to another file
pdf.saveToFile("output/deletePage.pdf");
pdf.close();
}

When reading a large PDF document, the reader may get frustrated by scrolling up and down to find information. Therefore, to enhance the reading experience, authors can embed navigation tools in PDF documents. The navigation button is one of those useful navigation tools, especially for navigating to related information. It is displayed on the page as a button with prompt text, which readers can click to jump to a specific location of the document easily. This article is going to demonstrate how to add navigation buttons to PDF documents in Java using Spire.PDF for Java.

Insert Navigation Buttons to a PDF Document
Spire.PDF for Java provides the PdfButtonField class to represent a button in a PDF document, and the methods under this class can be used to set the format and action of the button. We can create a custom method addNavigationButton(), and then pass the button, action, rectangle, and string as parameters to the method to add a navigation button to a PDF document. The detailed steps are as follows.
- Create an object of PdfDocument class.
- Load a PDF document using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
- Get the last page using PdfDocument.getPages().get() method.
- Allow creating forms using PdfDocument.setAllowCreateForm().
- Create a PdfButtonField object.
- Create a PdfNamedAction object and set the action as jumping to the first page.
- Define the location and size of the button and the text to be displayed.
- Use the custom method addNavigationButton() to add a navigation button navigating to the first page.
- Create another PdfButtonField object.
- Create a PdfGoToAction object and set the action as jumping to the third page.
- Define the location and size of the button and the text to be displayed.
- Use the custom method addNavigationButton() to add a navigation button navigating to the third page.
- Save the document using PdfDocument.saveToFile() method.
