Overview
Create PDF builds a new, blank PDF from scratch with a chosen page size, orientation, and page count. Use it to generate template PDFs for later editing, create placeholder documents for page-based workflows, or produce blank carriers for merging content.
How to use
- Open the Create PDF dialog.
- Select a Page Size from the dropdown (see table below).
- Choose an Orientation — Portrait or Landscape.
- Enter the Number of Pages to create (1–1000). Use the spinner control or type a value directly.
- Optionally check Open PDF after saving to view the new file immediately.
- Click Save PDF... and choose a destination file name.

Dialog options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Page Size | Dropdown list of 13 standard paper sizes. Dimensions are shown in PDF points (1 point = 1/72 inch). |
| Orientation | Portrait (height ≥ width) or Landscape (width > height). Selecting Landscape swaps the width and height of the chosen page size. |
| Number of Pages | The number of blank pages to generate. Accepts values from 1 to 1000. |
| Open PDF after saving | When checked, the newly created PDF is opened in Acrobat automatically after it is saved. |
Tip
To create a 10-page Letter-sized template in landscape, select Letter as the page
size, choose Landscape, set the page count to 10, and click
Save PDF....
Note
The page count must be between 1 and 1000. Values outside this range are rejected with a validation error. The orientation setting swaps width and height based on the selected page size — it does not rotate the content of existing pages.
