No Drag & Drop in Pages?

I don't seem to be able to drag and drop within a document in Pages. Is there a setting to allow this?

Asking twice the same question is annying for everybody.
As DennisG responded, the drag and drop feature works well in Pages.
If it doesn't do on your machine I assumes that the Pages preferences file may be corrupted.
Quit Pages
trash the file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
If it is not sufficient, try to create a new account and check the Pages behaviour from this account.

  • Pages 5 will not drag/drop individual pages in thumbnail view, grabs all pages!

    When I try to grab a page in thumbnail view to move, it grabs all the pages in the document and I cannot move the page I want. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    What happens when the page breaks mid sentence? Do you just scramble the content? Your documents would rapidly be shuffled into unintelligibility.
    I just checked in Word for Mac. It doesn't let you just drag random pages out of order either.
    Pages has a mode, the same as Word for Mac, Layout mode where every page is individual and can be reordered at will.
    The problem in Pages 5.2 is that it doesn't have Textbox linking that lets you flow text from one place to another in a document.
    Pages '09 has Textbox linking and another 110 features missing from Pages 5.2.

  • I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

  • The bookmarks toolbar is there but has no item buttons on it. How do I get the items back for this toolbar? Also would like to know if the toolbars can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ??

    Also would like to know if the toolbar can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ?? Like the menu & bookmarks toolbar could/should fit on same line. This would add more page view...

    Thanks

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
    You can only move the content from a toolbar onto other toolbars if all toolbars support that feature. You need to check that in the options of each toolbar.

  • Drag and drop in Page Builder

    Hi,
    Is there any way to enable drag & drop between ContentItem components in the Page Builder interface without having to do custom Flex programming? We would like to allow the user to switch a cartridge position in a page template without having to re-select the cartridge and enter content in again.

    Do you mean that you want to be able to drag and drop between sections within the page, drag and drop within the same section, or drag and drop across to a different page?

  • Can't Replace Pages (via drag and drop in Pages panel) in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I'm running OS X 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 9.1.3, PPC G5 PowerMac.
    I'll have two PDFs open and I'll want to replace certain pages from document A with certain pages from document B.  Rather than using the Replace Pages command from the Document menu, I prefer to visually see what I'm changing.  For this reason I've always preferred the drag and drop method, where one selects a page thumbnail from one document and drops it onto a page thumbnail in another document. This only seems to be a problem in Acrobat 9.  This works fine in Acrobat 7.1.1 and 8.1.6.  Drag and drop will allow one to insert pages but the replacement of pages is not working.  As described in Acrobat Help, under "Replace pages using a page thumbnail," I try to drop the page thumbnail onto the page number as prescribed but the page to be replaced never highlights like it should.  It will only give the insertion highlight between each page, indicating that it is about to insert a page.
    Other macs exhibit the same behavior -- it always works in Acrobat 7 and 8 but not 9.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    I'm using the Windows version of Acrobat Pro 9 and found this thread with the same problem. (Key command to replace on Windows is: Ctrl + Alt).
    Anyway, to answer the how to disable the warning, go to the Acrobat Preferences. In the General category under "Warnings", check the setting "Do not show edit warnings". There should be a similar setting on the Mac version.
    (Now I wish replacing pages didn't require a key command like in previous versions.)

  • Can't drag and drop from page view

    Can't drag and drop from page view to desktop even though plus icon shows up for duplicating the page.  On Mac 10.9.2 Acrobat XI. I don't want to extract through the menu and associated dialogues.  Its slow and cumbersome.

    Hi Peterbruce,
    Acrobat for Windows will let you select pages in the Pages panel and drag them to your desktop, but that isn't an option in Acrobat for Mac OS. You can drag thumbnails from the Pages panel in one doc, to the Pages panel in another, however.
    Best,

  • Cannot drag and drop PDF pages in Yosemite Preview App

    I suddenly cannot drag and drop PDF pages into the open preview PDF Yosemite> Why?
    I open a PDF in preview.
    I used to be able to simply drag a PDF from the desktop (or a JPG) into that open PDF in Preview.
    Now it won;t let me?
    Is this a bug or is there a new procedure for this?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    Have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac or have any antivirus software installed?
    Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and the disk.  Reboot normally and try again.
    If the above fails reboot into the Recovery volume and reinstall the system. Repair disk permissions afterward.
    Also, as a test, log into another user account on your Mac and see if the problem persists there.  If it does then it's a system wide issue.  If not, it's an account issue.

  • Drag and drop from pages tab

    I am trying to drag a page from acrobat reader into a C# application.  The only information i need from acrobat is the filename and the page number or numbers.  Is this information accessible? Do i need to cast the dataObject i am being sent to a different type? Has anyone had success with drag and drop from inside accrobat to another application?
    Any help at all would be very appreciated.

    Reader does NOT support dragging from the pages panel.
    Adobe Acrobat, however, does.  But the only supported destinations for dragging from the pages tab are another Acrobat window or the Finder/Explorer.  Any other destination is untested and unsupported.

  • Drag and Drop of Page from Content Finder into Page Component

    Hi,
    Does anybody has a sample code for Page component which accepts the page when dragging and dropping from the content finder? Basically I am trying to create a web page with page component on it and customized the content finder to display all the pages that I needed on a separate tab, I am trying to drag and drop the pages from the content finder to the page component of the web page that I created, but it is not working for me. If someone has any sample working code please share it.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There's no direct support for this. But you could implement
    drag and drop the way you normally would in javascript. Except
    here, on mouseUp over a div encapsulating the object or embed tag
    (the flash object), you'll need to make a call into actionscript
    from javascript indicating that a drag and drop happened.
    For more info, see
    how
    to drag and drop using javascript and
    actionscript
    and javascript communication

  • What's best "drag/drop" or template-based web page designer?

    Without learning HTML, what would you suggest for the best drag & drop style web page designer/editor for setting up a fairly professional looking website that will be used for commerce, including shopping carts, etc.? There are many for Windows, what's the best one for Mac, hopefully free or shareware?

    Well before you mentioned the whole commercial aspect of things, I still would have suggested iWeb. You might check out Sandvox or RapidWeaver, though I'm not sure that any of these will be particularly suited for commercial uses in terms of security and privacy.
    If you find this information useful, please take the time to provide me with feedback by marking my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using those little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. I'd really appreciate it!

  • In FX 8 (WinXP and Linux) I'm not able to change a route of the Google Maps routeplanner via drag&drop, the markers of start and destination don't appear and therefore cannot be moved, either.

    Usually (IE, Firefox 7 and below) if you go along the blue line of a route planned by Google Maps, a small circle appears which can be dragged and dropped to other roads so that the routeplanner changes the route. This is impossible with Fx 8, the circle doesn't appear and when trying to drag&drop I only move the map. The same applies to the markers which mark the start and destination of the route, they are not visible and cannot be moved. Disabling Adblock and Firegestures didn't solve the problem.
    When the page is loading for a moment you can see the symbol for an image which is not yet loaded both where the markers should be and if you go along the line with the mouse. As soon as the page is completely loaded you don't see this anymore.

  • Dock Downloads Folder Drag & Drop Crashes Finder

    When attempting to Drag & Drop files from the Downloads folder in the Dock to a different folder, whether that folder be on the Desktop, or open in a Finder window, Finder crashes and relaunches. Sometimes the file gets placed, sometimes it remains in the Dock. I have a similar problem with Mountain Lion on my 13" MBP, although Finder does not crash, it simply won't allow files to be dragged from the Dock to a folder icon on the Desktop.
    This problem has been persistent through several updates, and has been present since upgrading to Lion, and is a problem on more than one computer. This does not happen with every file, but happens often enough to be frustrating. It also happens consistently when moving more than 2 files from the Downloads folder in the Dock to either the Desktop, or a folder. I am also unable to Drag & Drop a file from the Downloads (or Documents folder for that matter...) to any folder icon on the desktop.
    I attempted this morning to file a bug report with Apple, but the Bug Reporting site had an error, and the Home Button on the Error page does nothing (hooray for web design!).

    Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.
    As for the BR issue, https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn loads w/o issues.

  • Reseting a drag & drop game

    Hello All:
    I'm having trouble reseting a drag & drop game. It is a movie clip with two pages: start_pg and game_pg. On start_pg is a start button (start_btn) that goes to game_pg. On game_pg is button (end_btn) that goes back to start_pg. Both buttons share the same layer, so I made each invisible when not of its page. The game works fine, but when the end_btn is clicked, all movie clips that have been dropped, stay there.
    How can I go back to start_pg and reset all movie clips to their original starting point?
    // start game page
    stop();
    end_btn.visible=false;
    start_btn.visible=true;
    start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goGame);
    function goGame (Event:MouseEvent): void
    gotoAndStop("game_pg");
    // game page
    var startX:Number;
    var startY:Number;
    var counter:Number = 0;
    pic_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
    pic_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);

    pic_4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
    pic_4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
    function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.startDrag(true);
    event.target.scaleX = 1.2;
    event.target.scaleY= 1.2;
    m_txt.text = "";
    event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
    startX = event.target.x;
    startY = event.target.y;
    function dropIt(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();
    var myTargetName:String = "target" + event.target.name;
    var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
    if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent == myTarget){
      event.target.width = 230;
      event.target.height= 190;
      m_txt.text = "Good Job!";

    Kglad:
    All my movie clips are on stage. Does it make any difference?
    I tried three options: 1) I didn't change the two functions and added the restore XY action to end_btn. It didn't work.
    end_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goStart);
    function goStart(Event:MouseEvent):void
    restoreXY(MovieClip(root));
    gotoAndStop("start_pg");
    The second option. In each function I changed
    the last part restoreXY(mc[obj]); to restoreXY(MovieClip(root));  (this didn't work)
    The third option was adding the storeXY to my function pickUp (which is when all movie clips exist in their original position) and keeping the restore action in end_btn. Didn't work.
    function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.startDrag(true);
    event.target.scaleX = 1.2;
    event.target.scaleY= 1.2;
    m_txt.text = "";
    event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
    startX = event.target.x;
    startY = event.target.y;
    storeXY(MovieClip(root));
    In all cases, I got errors in many lines such as
    1120: Access of undefined property obj the scritp is   if(mc[obj] is "MovieClip" && mc[obj].parent==mc){
    Can you please tell where in my code I should put the storeXY and restoreXY(MovieClip(root));?
    Thanks again for helping me.
