[OS X TeX] pdfpages

[George Gratzer]

Bruno,

\cleardoublepage

is not very well coded. In my book, I recommend that you use the  
package cleardoublepage.sty to fix it:

\let\cleardouble at page\cleardoublepage
\AtBeginDocument{%
   \ifx\cleardouble at page\cleardoublepage
     \def\cleardoublepage{\clearpage{\pagestyle{empty} 
\cleardouble at page}}
   \fi
}
