Add a divider before an appendix, leave space for handwritten notes, create a cover placeholder, or make an odd-length section end on the back of a duplex sheet. PaperGrid preserves the source-page order and inserts only the blank pages you request. Match size uses the first, last or selected reference page so mixed-size documents remain predictable.
