How can I rearrange pages in Acrobat Pro DC for Mac?

[ellenb63623311]

I can't find the thumbnail dropdown or anything. I used to do this in Organize I think?

Hi Ellen,

You can rearrange pages using Organize Pages App in Acrobat Pro DC.

After you open the file, in Right Hand Pane, click on Organize Pages, it will take you to thumbnail view of all pages in the file. You can drag and drop pages to rearrange them.

Another way to rearrange pages is via Page Thumbnails panel, after you open the file, Click on Page Thumbnails in Left Hand Panel, again drag and drop pages at your desired location to rearrange them.

Hope this helps. Feel free to write if you need more help around this.

Thanks,

Adobe Acrobat DC Team.

That's part of the problem. The search page comes up and I can't open Organize Pages. I also cannot access the Navigation or Page Controls. The are available under the drop down but I cannot click so it appears anywhere. and I only have the basic Menu view under the View>Show/Hide.

Are you sure you are running Acrobat Pro and not just the free Reader? If you have both installed, it's sometimes not obvious which one opens. Try to open up Acrobat Pro from the Applications folder and then load a document via the File>Open menu item. Do you know have access to the organize pages function? You can also re-order pages (but again, this only works in Acrobat, not in the free Reader) by opening the Page Thumbnail pane. If the navigation panes are not being displayed, you can show them by clicking on the narrow gray border on the left side - it's marked with a little triangle to indicate that you can expand it:

This should then bring up the navigation pane selection, and you can show the page thumbnails pane by clicking on the corresponding button:

At this point, you can drag pages around to re-order them. The only potential problem is to figure out where to drag the currently displayed page. I wrote about that in an old blog post: Duplicate a Page in Adobe Acrobat - KHKonsulting LLC​ - it's about duplicating a page, but the same rules apply when you just want to move a page.

Want you rearrange the files or the pages in the files?

[ellenb63623311]

files only. But i think i should arrange them before i put it into a Portfolio and once I did that i'm in good shape. Thank you for your help!

actually i figured out the thumbnail issue but i am trying to rearrange files in the portfolio but i can only open up individual FILES. I want to see the entire portfolio in a grid so i can move pages.
