General ⇒ Insert an empty column with the IEEEtran package

[ThomasDobrenel]

Hello everybody

I am editting a two-column document followed by an appendix (PDF document) but, since the last page contains text only in the first column, Latex somehow overwrite the first page of the PDF and the last page of text. The code more or less looks like the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,journal,twoside,compsoc]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=0.6in]{geometry}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[final]{pdfpages} %To be able to include PDF pages

\begin{document}
\blindtext[6]
\blindtext[6] 
\includepdf[pages=-]{PDF.pdf}
\end{document}

Does anybody have any idea of how i could force the insertion of an empty column before the \includepdf{} function or how to force the end of the page?

I have tried \linebreak \newpage but it only works if there is something written after.

Many thanks in advance for your help

Due to the use of the twoside class option, you would have to insert \cleardoublepage before the appendix. If the attachment should just start on the next page, \clearpage or \onecolumn should be enough.
