Holy cow! I did not know you could option drag a page in page thumbnails and duplicate the page
I have been doing too much work getting the page duplicated, It prints same thing on the back as the front.
I could not find anywhere to duplicate the pages
I have been doing these pretty large jobs monthly.
I just tried to option drag it and could not believe when it worked!   ;D

You can do it from the "Organize Pages" under the tools menu too.

I've just discovered rotate page view, in InDesign, for years would create large corflute jobs as landscape then group all, change page orientation to portrait and rotate grouped images 90º to print. (The rip absolutely hated doing the rotate, would fail 50% of the time and hated landscape pdf's that were rotated to portrait once created)

Now I can create a portrait page, rotate view to build content and export pdf which comes out how I want.

Never knew it was there until I received a file from client that was set up like this and I couldn't work out why pdf that I was exporting was rotated 90º. Had me stumped for a while.

I believe you can also right-click the page and select, "duplicate."
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
