Rearrange thumbnails in 'page thumbnail' view

How do I rearrange the thumbnails in page thumbnail view - can i do it within the sidebar where i see them?
I also am ending up with a blank page or two that I cannot get rid of - and I don't have so much text that it is running over.
and
can I add a page without adding a section?
Deb
thx

The invisibles are the formatting characters like space, page breaks, section break etc.. They will not print. Making formatting characters visible is often useful, especially when you’re formatting a more complex document. For example, you can change your document format by selecting an invisible and then pressing the Delete key to remove formatting.

Rearranging and duplicating pages in the thumbnails view?

How do I rearrange and duplicate pages in the thumbnails view of pages? I could before, but can't with the new pages. DROPPING features?! That's not what an upgrade does! This hugely messes up my work!

You should have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder. Use that meanwhile.
You can trash or archive Pages 5, and rate/review it in the App Store.

Truncated (incomplete) Page-Thumbnail View (6.03)

On my Windows XP 64 machine that is running two 1920x1200 monitors via NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 with the latest drivers I am having the following problem: in both Acrobat and InDesign the page thumbnail views do not show all of the thumbnail whatever the settings or the proportions of the view. E.g., in InDesign the bottom portions of the thumbnails is not visible and the scroll bar not shown with Show Vertically on in Options and the slides on the right of the window are not shown with Show Vertically off.
This is most inconvenient as I am having to resize the window every time I want to find the missing slides.
Anyone else is seeing this and what might be the reason/remedy?
Thanks

I don't see that the behavior you describe in the ID pages panel is related to a bug in how Acrobat displays page thumbnails. I seriously doubt that the two are using any code in common, and you describe truncated thumbnails, while the referenced thread describes thumbnails as completely omitted.
If your point was that there might be a bug in ID that is causing your problem, it doesn't seem likely as it hasn't been reported here previously that I can recall, and a problem with the display of the pages panel would have generated a LOT of comment by now. Try replacing your preferences or udating the video driver.

In Pages 5, why are page thumbnails different sizes?

So I'm using 5. And I must say I think it's brilliantly done after a long period of ******** about it. I guess I'm not asking of it anything it doesn't provide and what it does it does very well - though I'm puzzled by the behavior of selecting text via the keyboard.
Anyhow, that's not my question. I'm working with a long text document. I notice that as I work the page thumbnails become different sizes. It's subtle but it's clearly intentional. I reckon it's trying to tell me something but I don't know what. Haven't been able to find any info in the manual and was wondering if any of you clever people here might know. Thanks.

This is what I meant about how rude you are though. Your answer DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOUR myself or the other person were reporting. The only assumption that I can make is that you posted here for the sole purpose of implying that we are both mistaken or stupid.
How is this helpful at all?
How do you have 32,485 points when you are obviously more concerned with insulting people than helping them out? It puts the lie to the whole idea of "Apple Support Communities."
Also, I specifically informed you that your comments were insulting and unhelpful and politely requested you not post on this thread anymore or at least until you had some kind of actual information, yet here you are. Posting again, with no content other than the implied insult.
I'm not stupid. I know what a section break is, I know what a page break is. I'm a writer who has used innumerable word processing programs over the years and have been an IT worker for 10 years now.
I have a Pages document. It has no (or only one depending on your point of view), section(s). It has page breaks only. The pagination is set to start at "1" on the first page and proceed normally to the end of the document (300 or so pages). I am using Pages 5.5.2 on a brand new iMac. I have NONE of the previous or older versions/types of Pages on my computer.
The pages thumbnails on the side, do actually CHANGE SIZE randomly as I am editing the document. These differing sizes are NOT CORRELATED WITH THE BEGINNING OR ENDING OF SECTIONS. These size changes are also NOT CORRELATED WITH THE PAGE BREAKS (in case you were about to argue the similarity of page breaks and section breaks). As I work through the document and scroll up and down editing here or there, the size of the thumbnails RANDOMLY CHANGE SIZE. Sometimes this is correlated with me working on a section, sometimes I can work on a section and no change happens at all. The thumbnails that change size often change back again when I scroll back to them later on.
So please ... Try to act like a decent human being and either help out, or go away. STOP POSTING THAT WE ARE WRONG, when you DON'T in fact know we are wrong. STOP INSULTING ME by assuming I am stupid.
Why are you even here if you don't want to actually HELP anyone?
To anyone else reading this: I am having a real bad time with this fellow who is just the most insulting person I have met for a while, however many of my posts about him are being deleted. If anyone knows (including the mods of this forum) of the proper way to REPORT or get rid of a troll/abuser like him on Apple Support Communities or a place to report his behaviour, please let me know.

Acrobat 9 Pro Watermarks showing on Page thumbnails

I am seeing an issue with Acrobat, that did not appear for us, prior to version 9.
We receive PDF files and add Security and Watermarks to them. The Watermarks are set to appear on all pages only when printed.
However, in Acrobat 9, the watermarks show on the Page thumbnails (which we do not want). They do not show on the actual pages when viewed on screen (which is correct) and the Watermark does appear when the page is printed (which is correct).
The original file is being supplied to us in an Acrobat 9 format. We are doing our work in Acrobat 9. We are not going backward in versions at any step. We have tried going to older versions of Acrobat to solve the problem, with no success. It appears that once the file is created or saved in Acrobat 9, this issue appears.
Why is the watermark appearing on the thumbnail in version 9, when pervious versions did not have this? Has anyone else encountered this, even with previous versions? Suggestions?

Hi,
Played with the PDF at the link's end.
Both the page magnification value and the page display setting affect what is viewed by a Bookmark.
Whatever these variables had set when you created the Bookmark from the newly created named destination
(or from selected page content) will determine what is displayed by the Bookmark.
For a given page display, the page magnification becomes the significant variable.
With that said, using a Named Destination will call for additional editing.
(neglected to mention this before )
Access a Bookmark's Properties.
Open the Actions tab.
Select the Action shown in the bottom 'window'.
I suspect you'll see a Page number where you expected a Named Destination.
Selecte Edit. Tick "Use Named Destination".
Click "Browse".
Select appropriate named destination from the list.
OK > OK > OK
Be well...

When using Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader xi, I cannot find how to keep the Page thumbnails from hiding. We want them open. Please help!

In Internet Explorer, when opening a PDF using the IE addon Adobe Reader XI, the Page Thumbnail toolbar is shrunk to the left (hidden). Our users access the thumbnails constantly and we need this to remain open by default but I cannot find anywhere that this option is set. I would expect there to be a pin icon to click to keep it open. In the stand alone product Adobe Reader, we found that you can click "Restore last view settings when reopening documents." in Documents prefs but this doesn't work for new documents (only previously opened docs) AND doesn't work in Internet Explorer at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Marc

That would be something you could set at document level in document properties but would require Acrobat to make permanent.

Pages thumbnail display question

A rather curious thing happens every once in a while when I open various Pages docs that are in progress.
On the View icon in the Toolbar I have "Page Thumbnails" checked on these documents. However, for no particular reason, these documents open with reduces size thumbnails and I have to manually expand the thumbnail pane until they're the size I desire. The documents are page layouts and generally contain a combination of text blocks, photographs and other images, and tables.
There doesn't seem to be a prefs option as this is a document-specific parameter. It's annoying as can be and I'd sure like to learn how to make the thumbnail panel remain the same width from one work session to the next.
Pages version 4.3 build 1048 on OSX 10.8.4.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Jerry,
This is one of those "Now why didn't I think of that?" simple yet effective tips. Since my work is generally periodical in nature (monthly reports, newsletters, etc) I have been saving the current month (2013_06 newsletter) as the next month's (2013_07 newsletter) as boilerplate, revising and adding as needed.
I'll start saving as a template and see how that goes.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Why aren't thumbnails of pages are not showing preview with master applied?

I was trying the basic tutorial, and noticed that when I click into the pages, the master is applied, but in the plan sitemap view, the master content is not showing up in their thumbnails. Meanwhile, the tutorial video shows the sitemap page thumbnails are including the master page content. Is there a view setting I don't know about?

As you can see, the master is applied to all child pages, and none of the master content is previewed in the thumbnails. I even tried checking and unchecking the thumbnail box. But when I click into the child pages, the master content is shown. It's just not appearing in this view.

Disable Page Thumbnail Default for Scans

When scanning in Acrobat 9 (Create PDF From Scanner), page thumbnails are always displayed when the scanned document opens in Acrobat right after the scan. In Document Properties > Initial View > Navigation Tabs is set as Page Only, so this is not a setting that is saved with the document. It appears to be a default action after a scan completes.
How do I change the default behavior so that after the scan, only the document shows (no page thumbnails) ?

Wow, this forum is helpful.

Switches to page thumbnails

Just this past week, while working on some Acrobat files in Acrobat XI Pro, I noticed the view kept switching to page thumbnails from my standard bookmark view. I have no idea why that change took place, or how it might be resolved so that it does not happen further. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Many thanks,
Ken Wagoner

It's probably not possible to change this default behavior.

How can I hide page thumbnails navigation bar at the start up of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file?

How can I hide page thumbnails navigation bar at the start up of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file? I could not find this option under Preferences tab? Thanks

Hey there,
Thanks for your reply. That works for the files I do what you said. However, for files I have not done that, It still shows the navigation bar. Any idea, how to do it default for any files?
Thanks agian

Why can I no longer copy and paste a whole page in page thumbnail?

Why can I no longer copy and paste a whole page in page thumbnail?

Apple has removed over 95 features in Pages 5.
It has also introduced multiple file formats that are incompatible with each over as well as everything else, and numerous bugs.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
