To create a new 8.5x11 blank page and add it at the end of document's page sequence.

Note that, after the page is created, it does not yet belong to a document's page sequence. The page needs to be placed within the page sequence in order to become "visible". `PagePushBack()` inserts page *x* into the position of the document's last page.

## About creating a new blank page

To create a new page, use the `PDFDoc.PageCreate(media_box)` method. `PageCreate()` takes an optional Rect argument that can be used to specify page size. This Rect is called a media box.

A *media box* is a rectangle, expressed in default user space units, defining the boundaries of the physical medium on which the page is intended to be displayed or printed. A user space unit is 1/72 of an inch. If media\_box is unspecified, the default dimensions of the page are 8.5 x 11 inches (or 8.5\*72, 11\*72 units).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/ios/page-manipulation/create.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
