Rearranging pages in a PDF

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7ec9.w.h tml

This documentation is horrible.  In the first place, searching for the term "renumber" doesn't return ANY results.  When I finally did find this page, it says "Click the Page Thumbnails button to open the Page Thumbnails panel, and choose Number Pages from the options menu."  The "options menu"?  What the heck is that, and where is it?
PLEASE have a usability expert review ALL your documentation.  Problems like this are commonplace, and they are a result of people who write the documentation being TOO FAMILIAR with the product (and NOT thinking in terms of someone who is NOT familiar with the product--which is the audience that the documentation SHOULD BE addressing!).
Frustrated once again,

  • How can i rearrange pages in a pdf?

    I  have a subscription for CreatePDF.  IS there a way i can rearrange pages in a pdf?

    Hi 01txlonestar,
    The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to re-arrange pages within a PDF. For this function, you'll need Adobe Acrobat.  We offer a 30-day trial of Acrobat Pro here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro

  • How can I rearrange pages in a PDF portfolio in XI? When I try to move items, they pop right back...

    According to they tutorial I should be able to move items around in the lower bar in edit mode, but I get a circle with a stike through when I try to grab anything. Any body have any idea??

    Hi,
    My question also!  You don't seem to be able to drag and drop that I can see.  I've found a work around from a book.  I'm not great at describing it but you may get the idea.
    In the specify file button on the right when you have the portfolio open in edit mode.  You want to add a column to display, name it 'order' and choose number to the right, then hit the 'plus' button.  Then check only 'order' in the list of how to sort.
    Then go to the column in the list view, and click on the space to the right of the document icon and under order, and put a numbers in the order you want the document to be, like 1, 2, etc.
    Then you can sort in the order you want.
    Anyone else have the answer?  I wonder why you can't drag and drop here.
    I keep thinking there is an easier way!

  • How can I rearrange the pages in a PDF without changing the assigned paged numbers.

    How can I rearrange the pages in a PDF without changing the assigned paged numbers? These correspond to the original document folio numbers.

    In theory it would be possible to 'record and play back' the page numbers using a folder-level script, but it's far from trivial. You would have to use the doc.movePage() function - presumably driven by a dialog box - to do the page shuffling so there was a way to track what was being done, then swap the page 'labels' of the two affected pages. That's where it gets messy.
    We have functions in the JSAPI which can read and write the page label, but they don't do things in a logical way. The 'getPageLabel()' function simply returns a string, but the 'setPageLabel()' method expects to be told the numbering scheme, prefix, etc. You'd have to parse the string and work out what scheme it was implementing.

    Hi leoniep,
    To reorder pages in a PDF, you need to use Acrobat (you can drag the page thumbnails to rearrange the pages). If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to try it for free for 30 days. See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • Looking for a way to re-organize pages within a PDF document....

    Hello All.....
    First time posting here and a new user to Acrobat X Pro so bear with me as I try too explain my issue. I receive via email, a weekly PDF report for work that contains up to 200 pages in each file. Each page is basically a "Lead" that contains, in order of importance as they relate to me; an upcoming date in time and Trustee information. When I open up this file the pages are listed in chronological order by date only and cover a time-period of about 5 days. The trustees information is randomly placed through-out the document, so pages 1, 3, 5, and 10 may be one trustee and pages 2, 4, 6, and 9 may be another trustee. Complicating matters is there are upwards of 12 trustees information spread through-out every report. So..... if the 1st 50 pages of this PDF document are for 3/6/2012, all of the trustee's information is randomly scattered through-out these 50 pages. Make sense?? Here is what I am attempting to do.....
    First, I am extracting all of the pages of this report that have the SAME DATE and creating a new file. When this is done the extracted pages are then deleted out of the original file. If the original report contained information covering 4 days, at the end of this step I have 4 new files; and this is where I am getting hung up. What I was hoping to do now, is go into each file and rearrange the pages to be in order of the Trustees information. I have tried the "Advanced Search" function which will allow me to search the entire file for a trustees information, which works. I just can't figure out if there is something I can do after that. I would't even mind creating another file similiar to what I am doing above for each trustee, but unfortunately that extraction only works if the pages are in 1,2,3... chronological order. Going through and extracting each page one-at-a-time would be cumbersome and time consuming at best, so that is not an option. Does anyone have any thoughts?? And please feel free to ask me for more information. I was hoping to be able to upload a sample page of this report for you all to see, but it appears that you can't upload a PDF file... Go figure!! Thank you for your time.....

    There are several ways to handle a task like this, and a custom script is certainly one of them.  It looks like you are using a Mac, though, so that will limit your options somewhat.  As a result, I'll stick with Acrobat's native features for a solution.  I am going to assume that you have Excel, though, as it's the real key to solving this problem.  Notepad can be substituted for any text editor.
    My understanding is that you want to end up with a document that contains the entries for each particular Trustee, listed in chronological order.  It's not clear to me what specific form your output document should take, but I'll give you enough information to solve the problem, and you can adjust from there. 
    First, rather than deal with the problem by date, I would do it by the Trustee's name, instead.  They're already in chronological order, so no need to reinvent the wheel.  Someone did that work for you!  So, in the advanced search function you're already using, search for all of the Trustees at the same time with a multi-term search.  You can create this in a text file that you can re-use in the future.  Next, save the results to a CSV file.  Open the CSV in Excel, and delete all of the extraneous content except for the "page" and "seach instance" columns, which should ultimately occupy columns A and B, starting at row 1.  Next, sort the search instance column (Trustee names) either A to Z or Z to A (however you want them grouped for output), and then by page number, in asecnding order.  This will leave you with a new page order from which you can extract the pages that contain your Trustee names, which will inherently be in chronological order.
    Next, take the column of page numbers, copy, and paste special, transposing the data into a single row on a new worksheet in Excel.  Delete the initial worksheet, then save the CSV.  Finally, open the CSV file with Notepad, and you'll see that you now have a row of page numbers, separated by commas.  Copy that data and paste it into the pages field of the print dialogue in Acrobat, which will allow you to print those specific pages, in that specific order, to a new PDF.  If you had a page splitter script (like the kind try67 makes) or plug-in, that would be a little more efficient, but either way take you to the same place.  
    In the end, you'll have a subset of the pages in your original, 200 page PDF, "sorted" by Trustee, with each Trustee's data sorted chronologically.  If you want to break them out by Trustee, just create a bookmark at the first page of each Trustee's data (perhaps referring back to the CSV in Excel) and split the file out by bookmark with Acrobat. 
    I have used similar methods to complete tasks that range from impractical to impossible in my book, "The PDF Litigation Guide."  Hope that helps!

  • How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf document on a HP Envy 4501 Printer

    My HP Envy 4501 Printer won't let me scan multiple pages into one pdf document.
    I went to "Advanced Settings", clicked on "file" and made sure that the check box next to "Create a separate file for each scanner page" was unchecked.
    When I clicked the Save button it showed the page that I scanned and showed 1/1.  On the right side it had options for changing the brightness and Contrast, Rotate and Crop and "Back", "Save" and "Done" buttons, but nothing about scanning another page.
    Not to mention HP's Customer Support is useless!
    I'd appreciate any help I can get with this problem.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi BH,
    I see your diagram.  I just scanned something.  The screen that I'm looking at right now shows the preview page and the scroll box to the left of that just like in your diagram.  The screen does not show the + button nor does it show the red x button under the scroll box as in your diagram.  I can't see the plus sign because it is not there.
    I tried re-installing the software and drivers as you suggested but that did not have any affect.
    Thank you for trying to help me with this problem but it hasn't worked, therefore I can't mark the reply "Accept as Solution".
    I've noticed that on HP's support forum web page there is only 1 solved request for assistance.  That doesn't give me much confidence in HP.
    Please reply back to this post to let me know if there is anything else that I can try or if you know someone else at HP that can help.
    If I don't here back from you, I'm returning this HP Envy 4501 Printer to get my money back to use it to buy a printer from one of HP's competitors.
    Thanks,

  • HT4356 How do you conver a Page document to PDF when there is no printer available

    I purchased a $400 printer last year..now I cannot use it with my IPAD3 because it has to be an Air Print printer.
    I need to convert my Page document to PDF and the only way to do that is to go to Print a document...but, when
    I get there it tells me that I don't have a printer...Therefore, I cannot get to PDF conversion...
    I thought Apple have an incredible group of smart software engineers  ...what happened?
    Now, I have to go and buy another $400 printer to be able to convert a document to PDF?
    I bought this IPAD3 for my wife since she is not a computer expert but, so far I see that this is a  product more compicated than a personal computer.
    The hardware is great but,  so far my wife has a hard time to use the Apps I got for this IPAD...I'm a software programmer working for a major computer company and I also have a hard time trying to get these functions to work...

    Under "Share and Print", tap "Email Document", then choose PDF. Alternately, tap "Sent to iTunes", "Copy to iDisk", or "Copy to WebDAV" and then choose PDF...

  • Page numbers in PDF?

    I cannot figure out how to identify the page numbers of a PDF document when I view it in Safari 5.0.3. The original paper document has its own numbering system, but the PDF page-numbers are completely different. When I go to print individual pages of the PDF document, I don't know what page numbers to put into the printer window.
    I asked the publisher of the PDF document for advice. This is what it advised:
    "This is an issue with printing PDFs (Portable Document Files) in general, and does not pertain exclusively to printing PDFs in FDsys. When printing a PDF document in your web browser, the web browser is printing the pages of the electronic file (the PDF) not the page numbers that appear on the original publication (from which the PDF is derived). The page numbers of a PDF document do not always match the page numbers appearing on the publication itself. For example, in the example you cited (http://www.gpo.gov:80/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2009-title26/pdf/USCODE-2009-title26-subt itleA.pdf), the page number on the publication is page 347. However, if you click anywhere in that page, you will see that the PDF reader you are using indicates the corresponding page in the PDF file in the toolbar at the top of the page (next to the up/down arrow icons). The page number indicated in the toolbar refers to the page numbers in the PDF file, and it is these page numbers that your browser is referring to during the printing process."
    None of those instructions work in Safari. How do I find the page numbers for a PDF document in Safari?

    Hi Richard
    the best bet is to open it in Preview using the relevant button that appears when you hover at the bottom of a pdf in safari. Although the page numbers that appear on each page still won't necessarily match, you can at least make preview show the 'pdf' numbers in the toolbar, which will match those you choose when printing.
    a plugin like adobe's or http://schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ may show page numbers within Safari, but that doesn't mean they'll match those which appear on the pages, in the example link you gave, and others.

Maybe you are looking for
