Being new user sometimes common sense usability roadblocks are easier to see.  So I will try to provide some insight into my first try experience.

I decide to use Writer to create a simple pdf to share some screenshots with a group of people. I have 9 screenshots, so the pdf would be multipaged. 

I open Write, insert images, when I need to move to the second page to insert images I was not able to easily active another page, it was not even clear to me how to do that.  I tried to put curses after image but seems image was floating and not really inserted in page so when I tried to move to open space to the right or below last image inserted I was not able to. I could not find an easy way from the open document page to invoke a second page.

I think a better question, to ask first in https://ask.libreoffice.org/c/english/5

The way to "add another page" without content on the first page would be to insert a page break (ctrl + enter).
Related to your question, you might also be interested in bug 146445.
But as m.a.riosv said, better asked on our Question and Answer website.
Thank you!

(oh, and for what you are trying to achieve, LibreOffice Draw might be a better option)
