  • TIP 76: Replacing Pages

    Say you have a PDF document and realize you need to do some edits that are simpler to make in the source program, such as rewriting a block of text on a page or some other non-Acrobat work. After you make your changes and convert the document to PDF, you can use the Replace Pages dialog to substitute the new page in your original PDF document.

    Delete and Insert or Replace?

    What's the difference? It depends on what else is on the page.

    For example, you may have a page with a large number of comments, links, or form fields on it. If you merely inserted an edited version of the page and deleted the one you want to remove, you'd lose all your comments and links. When you use the Replace command, Acrobat replaces the underlying page, keeping the overlying content (such as comments, links, or form fields) untouched.

    In Acrobat, open the document in which you want to replace the page. You work from the Pages pane; click to select the thumbnails for the page or pages you want to replace, or you can set the pages in the dialog. Choose Options > Replace Pages from the Pages pane's menu. In the resulting browser dialog, locate the new PDF file and click Select. The dialog closes, and the Replace Pages dialog opens (Figure 76).

    Figure 76. Specify the pages to replace in the original document as well as those to use from the replacement document in the dialog.

    Specify the page numbers in both the Original and Replacement sections of the dialog. If you preselected thumbnails in the Pages pane they are shown when you open the dialog. Click OK. When the confirmation dialog opens, click Yes. The dialog closes and Acrobat replaces the original page with the new one.
