Alright. Now, another way to go about reorganizing and sorting your pages inside your PDF file is not by using any of the commands found underneath the Document Menu, but by using the page thumbnails found directly inside the Pages Panel. So go ahead and click on the Pages Panel Icon over on the left there or, of course, don't forget; you can always go View and then down to Navigational Panels and then look for Pages there. He's in there somewhere and what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to grab the edge of my Pages Panel here, the border of the Pages Panel, crank this guy way out so I get this sort of multi-thumbnail view if you will and quite literally what I can do now is I can take these page thumbnails, I'm not even really interested in what I see over in the main Acrobat window because I'm going to take these page thumbnails here and literally drag and drop them to new locations inside the Pages Panel here. For example, maybe I'll take this first page here and drag him down after the fifth page. Now the original Page 1 is now the fifth page inside my PDF file, this sort of thing. You can literally drag these thumbnails around wherever you want; just know that whenever you're dragging these thumbnails around inside the Pages Panel, you're actually changing your PDF file. In other words, whatever you do inside the Pages Panel in terms of deleting pages or reordering pages, all that good stuff actually happens inside your PDF file there. OK, so that's one thing I wanted to show you. I'm just going to take my first page and drag them all the way up to the beginning of my document. There he is there. The other thing that I wanted to show you another technique for dropping other pages into your existing PDF files from some of your other documents. So I'm going to go and open up another PDF file here. I'm just going to go File and then down to Open. Inside my Module 4 Folder I have Cover.PDF. I'm going to open him up and there he is there. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to open up his Pages Panel as well and, of course, he's just a single page there, just a single-page PDF file. But what I'm going to do is kind of move him over to the side so I can see both Pages Panels at the same time on my screen, if that makes sense and I'm literally going to drag this thumbnail from the Cover PDF right into my original Chapter 5 Layout; something like this. And, of course, I can see he got added there. I'm just going to go down and make sure that that actually worked. It looks like it did. Pretty cool stuff. I'm going to that one more time here for you. So I'm going to go File and then down to Open and I would go after the PDF file that I want to add to this existing document. I have another one here called TOC, TableofContents.PDF, open him up, same story. I'm going to open up his Pages Panel, He's a single-page PDF file as well and he's going to go in right after the cover, so between the cover and the first page of the chapter there. So I'm just going to drag his page thumbnail and drop him right into the existing Chapter 5 Layout Pages Panel, if that makes sense. Alright, there you go. There's some neat trick in terms of resorting your pages and dropping other pages into your PDF files.
