• The File Tab: This is where you can open, save, print, and share your PDFs. It's also where you'll find the settings to customize Foxit to your liking.
• The Edit Tab: Here, you'll find tools for modifying the content of your PDF, like adding text, images, and shapes. You can also use it to redact sensitive information or add watermarks.
• The View Tab: This tab lets you change the way you view your PDF. You can zoom in and out, rotate the page, and choose different layout options.
• The Organize Tab: This is the star of our show! The Organize tab is where you'll find all the tools you need to manage your PDF pages. We're talking about inserting, deleting, rearranging, replacing, and splitting pages. It's like having a digital page manager at your fingertips.
• The Pages Panel: On the left side of the screen, you'll see the Pages panel. This panel gives you a visual overview of all the pages in your PDF. You can easily jump to a specific page, select multiple pages, and drag and drop them to rearrange them.
• The Right-Click Menu: Don't forget about the right-click menu! When you right-click on a page in the Pages panel or in the main document view, you'll get a context-sensitive menu with options like "Delete," "Insert," "Extract," and more.

Rearranging Pages in Foxit PDF Editor

Okay, let's get to the heart of the matter: rearranging pages. Rearranging pages is super common, whether you're fixing a scanned document or putting together a report. Foxit makes it drag-and-drop simple.

• Using the Pages Panel: The easiest way to rearrange pages is by using the Pages panel on the left side of the screen. If you don't see it, go to the "View" tab and click on "Panels" then select "Pages". This will pop out the panel, and then you will see thumbnails of all the pages in your PDF.
• Drag and Drop: Simply click on the thumbnail of the page you want to move, hold down the mouse button, and drag it to its new location. A blue line will appear, showing you where the page will be inserted when you release the mouse button. It's as easy as moving icons on your desktop.
• Rearranging Multiple Pages: You can also select multiple pages by holding down the Ctrl key (or Cmd key on a Mac) and clicking on the thumbnails of the pages you want to move. Once you have selected all the pages, you can drag and drop them as a group to their new location.
• Using the Organize Tab: Alternatively, you can use the "Organize" tab on the ribbon. Select the page you want to move, and then click on the "Move Pages" button. A dialog box will appear, asking you where you want to move the page. You can choose to move it to the beginning or end of the document, or before or after a specific page.
• Rotating Pages: While rearranging, you might notice some pages are oriented incorrectly. No problem! Right-click on the page in the Pages panel and select "Rotate" to rotate the page clockwise or counterclockwise. You can also use the rotate buttons in the Organize tab.

Rearranging pages in Foxit PDF Editor is a breeze once you get the hang of it. The drag-and-drop method is the most intuitive, but the "Organize" tab gives you more precise control. Experiment with both methods and find the one that works best for you. With a little practice, you'll be able to rearrange pages like a pro.

Deleting Pages in Foxit PDF Editor

Sometimes, you just need to get rid of unnecessary pages. Deleting pages is a snap in Foxit, and there are a few ways to do it. Here’s how:

• Using the Pages Panel: The most straightforward way is to use the Pages panel. Simply select the thumbnail of the page you want to delete, right-click on it, and select "Delete Pages". A confirmation dialog will appear, asking you if you're sure you want to delete the page. Click "OK" to confirm.
• Using the Delete Button: You can also use the Delete button in the Organize tab. Select the page you want to delete, and then click on the Delete button. Again, a confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion.
• Deleting Multiple Pages: To delete multiple pages at once, hold down the Ctrl key (or Cmd key on a Mac) and click on the thumbnails of the pages you want to delete. Then, right-click on one of the selected pages and select "Delete Pages". Or, click the Delete button in the Organize tab. Easy peasy!
• Deleting a Range of Pages: If you want to delete a range of pages, select the first page in the range, hold down the Shift key, and click on the last page in the range. This will select all the pages in between. Then, right-click on one of the selected pages and select "Delete Pages". Or, click the Delete button in the Organize tab.
• Double-Check Before Deleting: Before you delete any pages, make sure you really want to delete them! Deleting pages is permanent, and you can't undo it (unless you have a backup of your PDF). So, take a moment to double-check that you've selected the correct pages before clicking "OK".

Deleting pages in Foxit PDF Editor is a quick and easy way to clean up your PDFs. Whether you're removing blank pages, duplicate pages, or just unwanted content, Foxit makes it simple. Just remember to double-check before you delete, and you'll be good to go!

You can insert pages from another PDF, a Word document, an Excel spreadsheet, or an image file. Once you've selected the file, a dialog box will appear, asking you which pages you want to insert. You can choose to insert all the pages, a range of pages, or specific pages.
• Inserting Pages from the Clipboard: You can also insert pages from the clipboard. Copy the content you want to insert to the clipboard, then click on the "Insert" button and select "From Clipboard". The content will be inserted as a new page in your PDF.

Simply open the folder containing the file you want to insert, and then drag the file into the Pages panel. A blue line will appear, showing you where the page will be inserted when you release the mouse button.
• Choosing the Right Insertion Point: When inserting pages, it's important to choose the right insertion point. Think about where the new pages should logically fit within the document. Should they go at the beginning, the end, or somewhere in the middle? Choosing the right insertion point will ensure that your document flows smoothly and makes sense.

• Choosing the Right Extraction Options: When extracting pages, you can choose whether to delete the extracted pages from the original PDF. If you want to keep the pages in the original PDF, uncheck the "Delete Pages After Extraction" checkbox. If you want to remove the pages from the original PDF, leave the checkbox checked.

• Choosing the Right Splitting Options: When splitting your PDF, it's important to choose the right splitting options. Think about how you want to divide the document, and then choose the options that best match your needs. For example, if you want to create individual files for each chapter, split the PDF by bookmarks. If you want to create smaller files that are easier to email, split the PDF by file size.
