Add blank/empty page after every page automatically
I would use pdfpages
to do this after the whole thesis is done, since you really have no need for a document with blank pages except to send to the printer, so it makes sense to keep the two documents separate.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages=1-,pagecommand={\null\clearpage}]{thesis.pdf}
\end{document}
A solution with package atbegshi
. It hooks into \shipout
, the internal command to ship out a page. The hook (\AtBeginShipout{...}
adds an empty page before the actual page except for the first.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{atbegshi}
\AtBeginShipoutFirst{%
\AtBeginShipout{%
\AtBeginShipoutOriginalShipout\null
}%
}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\blinddocument
\end{document}
Five pages are generated: 1st page, empty page, 2nd page, empty page, 3rd page.
