                            <details><summary>How do I add blank space between questions in a PDF?</summary><p>Open the PDF in PDFSpacer, click in the gap below a question, choose a paper style and height, then export. Everything below the insertion point moves down to make room.</p></details>
                            <details><summary>Is PDFSpacer free?</summary><p>Yes. There is no account, no watermark and no page limit. It runs entirely in your browser.</p></details>
                            <details><summary>Does my PDF get uploaded?</summary><p>No. The file is opened and processed on your device. Only the PDF rendering libraries are loaded from a CDN.</p></details>
                            <details><summary>Can I add space to a scanned PDF?</summary><p>Yes. A scanned page is split and spaced in the same way. Click in a clear gap so the split does not cut through a line of text.</p></details>
                            <details><summary>Can I print the result on A4?</summary><p>Yes. The Paginated A4 export flows the expanded document across standard A4 pages. Turn on A4 breaks in the editor to preview where pages will split.</p></details>
                            <details><summary>How is this different from adding margins or blank pages?</summary><p>Margin tools add room around the edge of a page. Blank-page tools insert a whole empty sheet. PDFSpacer inserts space inside the page at the point you choose, directly under the question. It can also <a href="/insert-blank-page-after-every-page-pdf">add a blank or ruled page after every page</a> in one click.</p></details>
