2. In Choose a PDF to edit, select the PDF, then click Choose.

   You can also open a PDF, then click Edit > Edit in Drime in the viewer. See Edit a PDF.

   

The pages column on the left shows every page. Click a page to go to it. Hide pages closes the column.

#Move, rotate or delete one page

Hover a page in the pages column, then use its buttons:

To add a page, click the last tile, Blank page, or choose Pages > Add blank page. The new page has the size of the last page.

#Rearrange all the pages at once

1. In the toolbar, click Pages > Rearrange.

   Rearrange pages opens: Drag & drop or select a page to rearrange.

   

2. Drag the pages into the order you want, or select a page and use Left, Right, Rotate or Delete.

   • Pages numbered: the pages to number, from one page to another.

   • Margins: the space between the number and the edge of the page (24 pt by default).

   • Type: Page numbers, or Bates numbers with a prefix and a suffix.

   • Format: 1, 2, 3, Page 1, Page 1 of 1 or 1/1.

   • Start from: the first number.

3. Click Save & Close.

The numbers are written into the file when you save, and follow the final order of the pages. To take them off before saving, open Page numbers again and click Remove numbers.

#Save your changes

Nothing is saved automatically. When you are done, click Save at the top: PDF saved confirms it, and the previous content is kept as a version, unless file versioning is turned off. To keep the original untouched, choose Save options > Save as a copy instead.

If you close the editor with changes that are not saved, Discard unsaved changes? asks you to confirm. Click Discard only if you want to lose them.
