how to connect sand paper to sander without a pad?

I accidentally used my bosch sander without the sanding paper which damaged the pad connected to the sanding plate. Now I cannot stick any paper to the sander as the surface of the pad is gone. Is there an option to get a pad to attach it to the sanding plate instead of replacing the whole sanding plate?
