of the default Navigation tabs in Acrobat. If the pane is not displayed, choose View > Navigation Tabs >
Pages and dock the tab with the other navigation tabs at the left of the program window.
There are a number of locations in which to select the same commands in Acrobat. Commands may be
chosen from the Document menu, the Options menu on the Pages pane, or by right-clicking a page
thumbnail to display the shortcut menu in the Pages pane. In the procedural descriptions that follow, the
command is listed from the Document menu.
In all descriptions, the pages being manipulated are selected first - using this process saves time, as the
dialog box corresponding to the selected command lists the selected page or pages automatically. In each
case, you can also replace the designated pages by typing different values in the fields. Acrobat includes
pairs of parallel commands for deleting/inserting pages, as well as extracting/replacing pages. In the final
document, the number of pages may be the same, but there are different reasons for using one command
versus the other, as described in this section.
Deleting Pages
To delete one or more pages from a file, open the document and click the Pages tab to display the Pages
pane. Follow these steps:
1. Click the thumbnail for the page you want to remove in the Pages pane. The selected page is
displayed in the Document pane, and the thumbnail is highlighted in the Pages pane.
2. Choose Document > Delete Pages.
3. The Delete Pages dialog box opens and the selected page is listed automatically.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box; click OK again to close the confirmation dialog box. The selected
page or pages are deleted.
To bypass the dialog boxes for faster deletions, select the page or pages in the Pages pane and press
Delete; click OK in the confirmation dialog box.
Inserting Pages
Inserting pages is a similar process to deleting. You can immediately insert the content from a PDF
document into an open PDF file; if the content to be inserted is in another format, Acrobat converts it to
PDF first, and then inserts it into the subject file.
Open the file into which you want to add pages, and follow these steps:
1. Click the Pages tab to display the Pages pane, and then click the thumbnail for the page prior to the
location where you want to insert additional pages.
2. Choose Document > Insert Pages to display the Select File To Insert dialog box. Locate and select
the file for insertion and click Select. The dialog box closes, and the Insert Pages dialog box opens.
3. Specify the insertion location in the document; a selected thumbnail's page number is shown
automatically in the dialog box.
4. Click OK to close the Insert Pages dialog. Acrobat adds the page or pages to your document.
Inserting Pages Visually
When you are working with highly distinctive pages, such as slides or large images, you can also
manipulate the content visually in the Pages pane (Figure 7.1).
Open the subject documents and choose Window > Tile > Horizontally (or Vertically) to tile the
windows. Open the Pages panes on each document to display the thumbnails. Select thumbnails from one
