Simplex printing vs. Duplex printing of PDFs

I have a web application, users of which need to be able to print a PDF in simplex or duplex mode.  I tell them no problem, however, legally the documents that they are printing out in duplex must have blank pages inserted every so often so that the back side of a page is blank rather than having the next page on the back of the first one.  In addition, these documents must come from an archive and CANNOT be recreated dynamically.  They aren't even supposed to be manipulated at all from what's in the archive. 

Is there a way to attribute a PDF page such that when it prints, a blank page will be inserted before or after it?

Re: [iText-questions] Simplex printing vs. Duplex printing of PDFs No there is not.

What software are you using to print the PDFs?  Perhaps that can be extended/modified to address your need?

One question!

Why use Duplex printing if the back page should be blank?

Isn't duplex printing supposed to be printing on both sides of a paper?
