Extracting, moving, and copying pages
You can extract pages from an Adobe PDF file using the Extract command. You can
delete the extracted pages or copy them to a separate file. When you extract a page from a
PDF document, all comments and links associated with the page content are also
extracted. Form fields are also extracted. Bookmarks and articles associated with the
pages, however, are not extracted.
You can also use page thumbnails to copy or move pages within a document and between
documents. You can copy or move one page at a time or multiple pages simultaneously.
Tagged bookmarks offer another mechanism for moving and deleting pages within a
document.
To extract a page:
1. Choose Document > Extract Pages.
2. Specify the range of pages to extract.
3. Do one of the following, and click OK:
To remove the pages from the document, select Delete Pages After Extracting.
To save the pages as a new file but leave the original pages in the document, do not select
Delete Pages After Extracting.
4. If you selected Delete Pages After Extracting, click OK or Yes to confirm the deletion.
The extracted pages are placed in a new document named Pages From [document name].
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 > Document Properties,
and select Security.
To move or copy a page within a document using a page thumbnail:
1. Click the Pages tab of the navigation pane, and select one or more page thumbnails.
2. Do one of the following:
To move a page, drag the page number box of the corresponding page thumbnail or the
page thumbnail itself to the new location. A bar appears to show the new position of the
page thumbnail. The pages are renumbered.
To copy a page, Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the page thumbnail
corresponding to the page.
To move or copy a page between documents using a page thumbnail:
1. Open both Adobe PDF documents, and display them side by side with their Pages tabs
open.
2. Select one or more page thumbnails in the file you want to copy or move pages from.
3. Do one of the following:
To copy a page, drag the corresponding page thumbnail into the page thumbnail area of
the target document. A bar appears at the bottom or top when the page thumbnails are in a
single column, or to the left or right if more than one column of page thumbnails is
displayed. Release the mouse button when the bar is in the correct location. The page is
copied into the document, and the pages are renumbered.
To move a page, select the page thumbnail corresponding to the page and then press Ctrl
(Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag. The page is inserted into the target document
and deleted from the source document. The pages are renumbered.
To move pages using tagged bookmarks:
1. Click the Bookmarks tab of the navigation pane, and select the Tagged Bookmark icon
for the material you want to move. Shift-click and select additional bookmarks to add
to the selection.
Note: You can select bookmarks from different levels in the hierarchy; the hierarchy is
maintained when the bookmarks are moved. If you move a parent bookmark, its children
are moved automatically. To move a child without the parent, select it individually.
2. Press Ctrl (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag. A bar appears above or to the left
of the new location. Release the mouse button when the bar is in the correct location. The
hierarchy in the Bookmarks tab changes, as does the organization of the document content.
Important: This procedure works only with tagged bookmarks, which are represented
with the Tagged Bookmark icon
