Workspace and Page Editor

Add your files to the workspace once, then run as many tools on them as you like. The Page Editor lets you edit their pages as thumbnails.

The workspace#

  • Drag files onto the app or click Add files. They appear in the file sidebar under PDF Library.
  • Workspace files are kept in this browser (in the desktop app, on this computer). To keep a file on the server or share it, see My files and sharing.
  • After a tool runs, click Undo to restore the files as they were.
  • Each tool run saves a new version of the file. To see earlier versions, open the file's More actions menu in the sidebar and choose Version history. From there you can open an earlier version in the workspace or remove it.

Edit pages in the Page Editor#

  1. Open Page Editor from the top bar, or pick PDF Multi Tool in the tool picker. Each file gets its own row of page thumbnails.
  2. Select pages with their checkboxes, with Select All, or with Select by Page Numbers.
  3. Change the pages:
    • Drag pages to reorder them, or drop them into another file's row.
    • Hover over a page for Move left, Move right, Rotate left, Rotate right, Delete page and View page.
    • Hover between two pages for Split here or Insert blank page.
    • For several pages at once, use Rotate selected pages left, Rotate selected pages right, Delete selected pages, Insert blank pages after selected pages or Split after selected pages.
  4. Use Wrap pages, Zoom in and Zoom out to change the view, and Undo and Redo if you change your mind.
  5. Click Save changes to all files to apply your edits.

To run the same steps on many files, use Automate.
