How to change page order in a PDF file?

Hi, how can I change the page order in my PDF file? I had read that it is possible but my editing options are showed gray and also my security settings cannot be edited.
Do I need a special software? I have Acrobat Reader, and my document was exported from Illustrator as a PDF.

You should ask in the Reader forum. But my guess is that Reader there is nothing you can do. Acrobat allows you to move pages around, but not Reader.

How to change page size to generate PDF ?

Hi,
I just finished a document : 4 pages on A4 format with texts and images.
I now have to generate a pdf file to send to the printer.... but the staff decided to change the format to a 80% of the initial size. I have to generate the pdf to the right size and I don't really know how to do it.
On the second hand, I have a question about the jpg images imported in my document. The printing company asked me to be sure to have CMJN pics. As far as i know, jpg is RVB. Does the pdf export make the change ?
thanks in advance.

isachrislisa,
In Preview you may Print to a reduced scale, and the medium you print to can be another PDF.
The color space question is an odd one, it seems to me, since I would think your printer should be the one to make such corrections. Without advanced graphics editing software, if would be difficult for you to transform your JPEGs from RGB to CMYK. A more reasonable request might be to keep all the photos and graphics in RGB so the printer has only color space to deal with converting. I'm sure that given some time, the commercial printing experts will jump in here with some better advice.

How to maintain page order in load pdf/save pdf

(Photoshop CS6)
I want to apply one and the same action to all pages of a pdf-file. The pages have a systematic error, too dark.
So:
1. load pdf-file
2. select all pages
3. apply action, in my case change level, to all pages
4. save all pages as pdf-file, in the original page order.
Thanks,
Peter J. Veger, Best

You could use this script to save the pdf, as it will reverse the order of the documents....
#target Photoshop
app.bringToFront();
main();
function main(){
if(!documents.length) return;

win.pnl1 = win.add('panel', undefined, undefined, {borderStyle:"black"});

How to change the name of a pdf file in iBooks on ipad

I have a number of appliance and tool manuals as pdf files uploaded to my iPad. In order to identify them easier I would like to change the names of the files. I changed them in iTunes on my computer but they do not change on the iPad2 when I sync. Is there a way to do this?

Greg,
I had been working on this a while and found what worked. Save the pdf to your desktop with the file name as you want it. Open up itunes on half of your monitor. Drag the file to the library section of itunes (music, videos, books, movies etc...). When you drag to the library section, it will put it the book section of itunes. Sync and you will see the file in ibooks on your ipad. Give it shot.

Changing the order for printing portfolio files in adobe acrobat 9 pro

HP 8600 911g - connected to Imac 24; Maverick OS; how does one change pages printing order

Hi Dave 6373,
I understand you have an Officejet 8600 that you're using with 10.9 and would like to know how to change the order the pages print in. I will do my best to assist you in resolving this issue!
From my browsing our 10.9 Mac I was able to find the setting I believe you are looking for. You will want to open the program/document you're printing with and select File and Print. You will then see a screen similar to the one in the screen shot below. You'll want to select Paper Handling and then under page order change it as you wish. You can also save this as a preset by clicking where it says Default settings (next to Presets: ) and choosing the Save option.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post resolved your issue, as it will help others find the solution faster

How do I change page order on a document created in Pages 5.1?

After reading some of the posts about the lack of ability to change page order in Pages 5.1, I decided to re-install Pages 09 from the DVD that came with my computer because some posts said it was a better program. After inserting the disc and responding to all the prompts it seemed to download everything but I can't find Pages 09, I only seem to have 5.1.
I will take a solution to either problem, but all I really want to do is change the order of 2 pages on a 9 page document created using 5.1.

It is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Make sure you update it to the latest v4.3:

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

Hi Tom,
I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
Best regards, mbd

Changing page order within a file

Just suscribed to PDF Pack, can I change page order within a file? TIA

Hi realestateguy,
If you're using the Combine Files functionality in PDF Pack to combine multiple files into a single PDF, you can determine which order the files appear in the PDF. (Just select the files to combine, and then drag them into the order you want them to appear in the PDF.) However, if you're creating a single PDF, you need Acrobat to reorder the pages.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Sara

How to change to order of sorter

If I use Move up/down column
the list page will order by ascending by the sort field, that mean the latest data will be in the last page, therefore I want to change the order
I found some code seems related to the sort function
$tso_listdrama_ship_main1 = new TSO_TableSorter("rsdrama_ship_main1", "tso_listdrama_ship_main1");
$tso_listdrama_ship_main1->addColumn("drama_ship_main.sm_sort DESC"); // Order column
$tso_listdrama_ship_main1->setDefault("drama_ship_main.sm_sort DESC");
$tso_listdrama_ship_main1->Execute();
// Defining List Recordset variable
$NXTSort_rsdrama_ship_main1 = "drama_ship_main.sm_sort DESC";
if (isset($_SESSION['sorter_tso_listdrama_ship_main1'])) {
$NXTSort_rsdrama_ship_main1 = $_SESSION['sorter_tso_listdrama_ship_main1'];
I add DESC after all the sort field, but it's not work.

Hi Jason,
How to change the order of tables within sheets
Make a table active by clicking in it once to select that table, then drag it by the 'bullseye' (top left, I have placed a red circle to show the bullseye):
After dragging the table down:
Table 1 is now below Table 2.
The blue line is an Alignment Guide
Two types of Guide:
1. Menu > View >Show Rulers. Drag Alignment Guides from a ruler to where you want them.
2. Menu > Numbers > Preferences > Rulers > Alignment Guides. Turn on (tick) both guides. That allows you to align objects with *each other* (as well as with the ruler guides). These guides help to align objects left, middle, right, top, bottom.
Alignment Guides do not show unless you are moving an object.
to drag/move table to another sheet in the one file
Not possible in Numbers 3. The Sheets Pane has gone. Instead, select the entire table (click once in the table to make it active, then click on the bullseye). Copy (or Cut if you are brave). Go to another Sheet and Paste.
Also can you change the size of sheet tab width on tab toolbar, so I can see more sheets at once??
No. Let's hope this will be added in future updates. However, you can drag a Sheet tab left or right to reorder them.
Another tip: each Sheet tab shows the contents of that Sheet, with some options such as Duplicate and Delete:
Regards,
Ian.

OK, I found it myself:

That is!
