Inserting Pages into a PDF

1. Open the PDF into which you wish to insert pages. This process works on the currently active PDF.
2. Go to Document > Pages > Insert Pages or press CTRL+SHIFT+I. The Select Files to Insert dialog box appears.
   • If there is more than one PDF open in Revu at the time, the Insert Pages dialog box appears instead. Skip to step 4 below.

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 files that will be the source of pages that will be inserted into the current PDF and are not currently open in Revu, click Add. The Select Files to Insert 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 Open.
5. To add files that will be the source of pages that will be inserted into the current PDF and are currently open in Revu, click Add Open. All PDFs currently open in Revu will be added.

6. Pages will be inserted from PDFs in the order in which they are sorted. To change the sort order:

   • Click and select the desired sort option to sort the files automatically.
   • Select a file you wish to move and click either to move it up in the list or to move it down in the list to reorder the files in the list manually.
   • Select a file and click to remove it from the list.
7. 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 from the Pages dropdown menu 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.
11. Click OK.

Tip: You can insert pages directly from Windows Explorer. Simply drag one or more PDFs into the Thumbnails tab and the Insert Pages dialog box will appear with those files already added.

To insert a blank page or a new page from a saved template, use the Insert Blank Page command.

1. Open the PDF into which you wish to insert pages.

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

   

3. To select a template for the new page(s), select it from the Template dropdown menu.
4. To set a custom size, enter the Width and Height values.
5. To define the orientation, select either Portrait or Landscape.
6. To choose a grid style, select it from the Style dropdown menu.
7. Enter the number of pages to insert in the Page Count field.

8. 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.

9. To set this configuration as the default for future use, click Set as Default.
10. Click OK.
