Rotate pages in a PDF

You can rotate all or selected pages in a document. Rotation is based on 90° increments. You can rotate pages using the rotate tools in the Page Thumbnails pane or using the Rotate option.

Open the PDF in Acrobat DC, and then choose Tools > Organize Pages or choose Organize Pages from the right pane.

The Organize Pages toolset is displayed in the secondary toolbar.

In the secondary toolbar, specify the page range on which you want to apply the rotation.

You can choose Even Pages, Odd Pages, Landscape Pages, Portrait Pages, or All Pages, or you can enter the page number you want to perform the operation on.

After specifying the page range, for Direction, select either counterclockwise 90 Degrees or clockwise 90 Degrees .

You can also apply the page rotation on a specific page by clicking the counterclockwise or clockwise rotation buttons displayed in the page thumbnail view.

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 from 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.

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

Open the PDF in Acrobat DC, and then choose Tools > Organize Pages or choose Organize Pages from the right pane.

The Organize Pages toolset is displayed in the secondary toolbar.

In the secondary toolbar, click Extract.

A new toolbar appears below the secondary toolbar with the commands specific to the Extract operation.

Specify the range of pages to extract.

You can choose Even Pages, Odd Pages, Landscape Pages, Portrait Pages, or All Pages, or you can enter the page number you want to perform the operation on.

In the new toolbar, do one or more of the following before you click Extract:

The extracted pages are placed in a new document.

Extract random pages from a PDF

You can also select and extract discontinuous pages from the page thumbnails in the left navigation pane of Acrobat.

Right-click a page thumbnail in the left pane, and then click Extract Pages.

In the Extract Pages dialog box, specify the pages you want to extract and then click OK.

Add a custom page to a PDF

You can add a custom page to your PDF using the integrated Adobe Express app, which offers thousands of templates to choose from while organizing pages in Acrobat.

Open the PDF in Acrobat and click Organize Pages in the right pane.

On the Organize Pages toolbar, click Add Custom Page.

A new window opens with page editing options powered by Adobe Express.

Choose the template you want to use for your new page, and then use the editing controls to change any colors or text to your liking. Once you have finished customizing the page, click Add to add the page to the PDF.

The new page is added to the PDF. You can drag the added page to the desired position in the PDF.

Click Edit if you want to make additional changes to the new page. The editing panel opens. Click Save when you’ve finished.

Once you save your PDF, you can’t edit the added page by opening the Adobe Express app from Acrobat.

Click Close and save the PDF. This will finalize the changes on your new page, and you won’t have access to the Edit option on that page going forward.

Split PDFs into multiple documents

You can split one or more PDFs into multiple smaller PDFs. When splitting a PDF, you can specify the split by the maximum number of pages, maximum file size, or top-level bookmarks.

Open the PDF in Acrobat DC, and then choose Tools > Organize Pages or choose Organize Pages from the right pane.

The Organize Pages toolset is displayed in the secondary toolbar.

In the secondary toolbar, click Split.

A new toolbar appears below the secondary toolbar with the commands specific to the Split operation.

In the Split By drop-down list, select the criteria for dividing the document:

Number Of Pages

Specify the maximum number of pages for each document in the split.

Specify the maximum file size for each document in the split.

If the document includes bookmarks, creates one document for every top-level bookmark.

Move or copy pages in a PDF

You can use page thumbnails in the Navigation pane or the Document area to copy or move pages within a document and to copy pages between documents.

Move or copy a page within a PDF, using page thumbnails

Open the PDF in Acrobat DC, and then choose Tools > Organize Pages or choose Organize Pages from the right pane.

The Organize Pages toolset is displayed in the secondary toolbar and the page thumbnails are displayed in the Document area.

Select one or more page thumbnails.

Copy a page between two PDFs, using page thumbnails

Choose Window > Tile > Vertically to display the PDFs side by side.

Open the Page Thumbnails panels for both PDFs. Alternatively, go to Tools > Organize Pages on both the PDFs.

Click the Page Thumbnails button in the left navigation pane to open the Page Thumbnail panel.

Alternatively, you can also drag the page thumbnail into the Page Thumbnails panel of the target PDF.

Delete or replace pages in a PDF

You can replace an entire PDF page with another PDF page. Only the text and images on the original page are replaced. Any interactive elements associated with the original page, such as links and bookmarks, are not affected. Likewise, bookmarks and links that may have been previously associated with the replacement page do not carry over. Comments, however, are carried over and are combined with any existing comments in the document.

After you delete or replace pages, it’s a good idea to use the Reduce File Size command to rename and save the restructured document to the smallest possible file size.
