Rearranging pages in a PDF

Rotate a page

You can rotate all or selected pages in a document. Rotation is based on 90° increments.

1 Open the Rotate Pages dialog box using one of the following methods:

• Choose Tools > Pages > Rotate.

• From the options menu in the Page Thumbnails panel of the navigation pane, choose Rotate Pages.

2 For Direction, select the amount and direction of the rotations: Counterclockwise 90 Degrees, Clockwise 90

Degrees, or 180 Degrees.

3 For Pages, specify whether all pages, a selection of pages, or a range of pages are to be rotated.

4 From the Rotate menu, specify even pages, odd pages, or both, and select the orientation of pages to be rotated.

To temporarily change your view of the page, choose View > Rotate View > Clockwise or Counterclockwise. The

original page orientation is restored the next time you open the PDF.

Extract pages in a PDF

Extraction is the process of reusing selected pages of one PDF in a different PDF. Extracted pages contain not only the

content but also all form fields, comments, and links associated with the original page content.

You can leave the extracted pages in the original document or remove them during the extraction process—

comparable to the familiar processes of cutting-and-pasting or copying-and-pasting, but on the page level.

Note: Any bookmarks or article threading associated with pages are not extracted.

1 Open the PDF in Acrobat and choose Tools > Pages > Extract.

2 Specify the range of pages to extract.

3 In the Extract Pages dialog box, do one or more of the following before you click OK:

• To remove the extracted pages from the original document, select Delete Pages After Extracting.

• To create a single-page PDF for each extracted page, select Extract Pages As Separate Files.

• To leave the original pages in the document and create a single PDF that includes all of the extracted pages, leave

both check boxes deselected.

The extracted pages are placed in a new document named Pages From [original document name]-[n].

Note: The creator of a PDF document can set the security to prevent the extraction of pages. To view the security settings

for a document, choose File > Properties, and select Security.
