Create copies of one or more pages within a PDF document using our PDF page duplication API. Ideal for form templates, repeated sections, or multipart documentation.
Select specific pages or page ranges to duplicate and insert them wherever needed in a document. Great for duplicating signature pages, instructions, or templates.
Automate duplication tasks in large PDFs without manual editing. Perfect for applications like contracts, reports, or forms with repeatable content.
Select a package that suits your needs according to the number of credits you wish to spend. Each API tool and action has a specific credit cost.
This example duplicates the first and last pages of a document.

After validating page duplication, continue to:
No input or resulting documents are stored on our infrastructure. All files are deleted as soon as a request finishes. Alternatively, check out our self-hosted product.
All communication between your application and Nutrient is done via HTTPS to ensure your data is encrypted when it’s sent to us.
All payments are handled by Paddle. Nutrient DWS Processor API never has direct access to any of your payment data.
Send the page or page range you want to copy to the duplicate PDF page API, and it returns a new PDF with the selected pages duplicated and inserted where you specify. See the getting started guide to make your first request.
Yes. Specify the start and end page indexes to duplicate a single page, a range, or several ranges in one request — useful for repeating signature pages, instructions, or template sections inside a larger document.
You can call the API over REST or HTTP and integrate it with Java, C#, JavaScript, Python, and PHP, or test it first in Postman. See supported languages for setup details.
The API uses the credit-based DWS Processor pricing, with a free tier of 50 credits per month for evaluation. See Processor API pricing, or explore the full DWS Processor API.
