Adding pages to preview PDFs

When I insert a blank page to a PDF document in Preview and save & close the file and then re-open it, the changes are not saved. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

How are you adding the blank page? Are you using the Edit ➙ Insert ➙ Blank Page menu option?

If you are and it's not working boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.

NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following;

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
