Not possible with PDF at all (let alone iText).
 
Give your client 2 PDF files - one for double sided printing, one without.  I'll leave inserting blank pages as an exercise to the reader :-)

Subject: [iText-questions] Question on duplex printing of PDFs
  
Hello,

I am using the wonderful iText library to merge some pdfs in one of my projects
and so far its working great.  We generate a bunch of pdfs as the output of one
of our business processes, and then we combine it into one pdf for the user's
convenience.  My client has made a request now which has me wondering if its
even possible.  When I merge the individual pdfs, if one of them is an
odd-number of pages and he prints it out duplex (double-sided), the first page
of one of the sub-documents ends up on the back of a piece of paper which is not
what he wants.  I suggested that I could just put in a blank page if the
document had an uneven number of pages (even though I'm not sure exactly how to
do that, pointers appreciated!), but he said that it should not print blank
pages when printed without duplex (when printed single-sided in other words).
Is this possible using iText?

Thanks,

Greg
