You need a blank PDF — for a form template, for inserting between sections of a document, for printable handwriting paper.
Blank PDFs are surprisingly hard to come by. Word makes you fight to get a truly empty page; Pages adds a default margin. A direct blank PDF is faster.
Pick the size and orientation
Common sizes: A4 portrait (210×297mm), A4 landscape, Letter (US, 215.9×279.4mm), A3, A5. Pick the one that matches what you'll combine it with later.
Custom sizes are useful for booklets, name cards, or non-standard documents. Specify width and height in mm or inches.
Create the blank file
In Flint's editor, create a new PDF with the page size and count you need. Set background colour (white is default; coloured backgrounds are useful for note templates).
For a printable lined paper PDF, add a faint grid or horizontal rule lines using the drawing tools.
Use it as a template or insert
A blank PDF on its own is a starting point. Merge it into an existing document where you need an empty page between sections.
For form templates, build the field layout once on the blank, then save as your base form. Duplicate for each new form variant.
