Manipulate PDFs Using Preview (continued)
5Collating Documents Repeating the New From Clipboard action from step 3
creates a one-page document for each selection you paste into a
new PDF. But it’s easy to combine these files into one. First, click
the toolbar’s Sidebar button (top-right), or go to View > Sidebar or
press Shift-Command-D. With two PDF files open, click and drag a
thumbnail from one sidebar to another document’s sidebar, either
above or below the existing thumbnail.
Combine PDF pages by
dragging their thumbnails
into one document’s sidebar.
6Reordering Pages If doesn’t matter much if you’ve imported your pages in
the wrong order. You can just drag the sidebar’s thumbnails into
the correct order. A red line will appear to let you know where the
page will end up once you release the mouse button.
Select multiples and drag them
to their place. You’re ALL out
of order!
7Removing Pages If you no longer need a specific page, you can delete it in
one of two ways: either go to Edit > Delete Selected Page or use
the Command-Delete keyboard shortcut. Just like adding pages or
reordering them, you can delete multiple pages at once. Command-click multiple thumbnails to select them, then use the delete
command of your choice.
You can undo a delete,
by the way.
