How can you move/copy pages in a PDF document?

If you want to either copy or move some pages within your PDF document, you should use page thumbnails, which are available in the “Navigation” pane or the “Document” area.

Moving/copying a page within a PDF document, using page thumbnails

1. Start with launching Adobe Acrobat and open your PDF document.
2. Press “Tools” > “Organize Pages.”
3. Now you can see the “Organize Pages” toolset in the secondary toolbar. All page thumbnails are located in the “Document” area.
4. You should choose one or several page thumbnails:

• If you want to move a PDF page, you must drag the page number box of the corresponding page thumbnail to the desired location. You will see a bar appeared, which shows your new position of the page thumbnail. The pages get renumbered automatically.
• If you want to copy a PDF page, you must ctrl-drag the page thumbnail to the desired location.

2. Refer to the “Page Thumbnails” panels for two PDF documents by clicking the “Page Thumbnails” button, which can be found in the left navigation pane.
3. You must drag the page thumbnail into the panel of the target PDF document. Your page has been copied into the target document, and all the pages got renumbered automatically.

How can you remove/replace pages in your PDF document?

It is possible to replace a whole page in your PDF document with another page. However, you can replace only the text and images. Such elements as links or bookmarks will not be affected. As for the comments, they will be carried over and combined with already existing comments in your PDF document. Once you have deleted/replaced some pages, we recommend you to use the “Reduce File Size” command. You should rename the restructured PDF document and save to small file size.
