Inserting Pages into a PDF

The Insert Pages command allows you to pull pages from one or more pre-existing PDFs and insert them into the currently active PDF. The Insert Blank Page command creates new, blank pages and inserts them into the active PDF.

Note: Pages cannot be inserted into a PDF that has been digitally signed or certified.

ClosedInserting Pages from Another PDF
  1. Open the PDF into which you wish to insert pages. This process works on the currently active PDF.

  2. Go to Document > Insert > Pages from Document or press SHIFT+⌘+I. The Open dialog box appears.

  3. Navigate to and select the file that is the source of the pages that will be inserted into the current PDF, then click Open. The Insert Pages dialog box appears.

  4. To add source files (that is, PDFs that contain the pages to be inserted) that are not currently open in Revu, click Add. The Open dialog box appears. Navigate to and select the file that is the source of the pages that will be inserted into the current PDF, then click Choose Files.
  5. To add source files that are currently open in Revu, click Add Open Files. All PDFs currently open in Revu will be added.
  6. By default, all pages of a given file will be inserted. To select specific pages in a source PDF to be inserted:
    1. Select the PDF and click Modify. The Select Pages dialog box appears.
    2. Select Custom Range and enter the pages to be inserted.
      • Use a dash between page numbers to define those two pages and all pages in between.
      • Use a comma to define pages that are separated.

      For example, entering 1-3, 5, 9 will insert pages 1, 2, 3, 5, and 9.

    3. Click OK.

  7. Select the desired Options:

    • Include Bookmarks: Add any bookmarks from the selected PDF files.
    • Include File Attachments: Add any file attachments from the selected PDF files.
    • Merge Document Properties: Combine the document properties of the existing and selected PDF files.
    • Merge Layers: All layer information in the PDFs will be kept when this options is checked. If unchecked, the layers will be removed, but the content and markups in the layers will remain in the combined PDF.
    • Use Filename as Page Label: By default, the page labels of the inserted pages are copied from the source PDFs. Select this to use the file names instead.
  1. Determine where the inserted pages will be placed:
    1. Select Before or After from the dropdown menu below the name of the PDF into which the pages are being inserted.
    2. Select First Page, Last Page, or specify a Page.
      • The combination of these two choices determines where the pages are inserted. So, selecting After and Last Page will insert the pages after the last page of the current PDF.
  1. Select Interleave Pages, if desired. This will cause the inserted pages to be weaved alternately into the existing pages, starting from the position determined in the previous step. This is useful when rejoining odd and even pages that were output separately, for example.
  2. Click OK.
ClosedInserting Blank Pages
  1. Open the PDF into which you wish to insert pages. Blank pages are automatically added after the active page, so if this is a multi-page document, advance to the appropriate page.

  2. Go to Document > Insert > Insert Blank Page or press SHIFT+⌘+N. The Insert Blank Page dialog box appears.

  3. To set a custom size, enter the Width and Height values.
  4. To define the orientation, select either Portrait or Landscape.
  5. Enter the number of pages to insert in the Page Count field.
  1. Click OK.
