In this video, I want to show you how you can replace pages inside of Acrobat.
Now obviously, what the feature does is it allows you to replace pages, but I just want to show you something that's kind of cool about this feature.
First of all, you'll notice I'm working with a 2-page brochure.
What I want to do is add a hyperlink here on the first page.
I want to link the School of Music's logo to their website.
Well, we can do that easily by coming over and choosing the Edit PDF tool.
From there we can select the link menu, and we can choose Add or Edit.
You'll notice that the cursor changes to a crosshair.
What we have to do here is essentially define a clickable area, meaning when the end user clicks in this area, they'll be brought to the link that we specify.
So I'll just draw a box around this area.
When I let go of the mouse, a dialog box appears, the Create Link dialog box.
In terms of the link type, we want to go with Invisible Rectangle.
And then for the link action, we want to Open a Web Page.
Go ahead and click Next, and then you can type in a URL.
So in this case, I'll just type in stocklayouts.com, as they created this layout for us.
We'll go ahead and click Okay.
Once we click Okay, the link has been defined.
But let's say the designer now made a change to this page.
They wanted to replace this image, and maybe they replaced some text as well.
Well, we don't want to have to rebuild our hyperlink.
Fortunately, with the Replace Page command, we can replace this page while maintaining this link that we've already set up.
Let's take a look at how it works.
I'm going to go ahead and close out of the Edit PDF tool.
And then I'm going to come over and choose the Organize Pages tool.
Here I see thumbnails of all the pages within the PDF.
We want to make sure that the first page is selected.
And you can do that simply by clicking on that first thumbnail.
If it's not selected, you won't see that blue highlight.
Click on it, and then you will see that it is highlighted with this blue rectangle.
Now that this page is selected, you just want to come up towards the top here and click Replace.
Then you have to choose the new file that you want to replace that old page with.
So I'll just go ahead and select the updated file that the designer sent to me.
I'll click Select.
They sent me the entire brochure again, but I just need the first page.
So in the Replace Pages dialog box, you'll notice in the original document.
I'm going to replace page one to page one.
The second page is not affected by this.
Because I had the first page selected just a moment ago, this is prepopulated for me correctly, but I do have the liberty to make further adjustments to it.
Then I'm going to use the first page in this new PDF to use as the page that replaces the old page.
So go ahead and click Okay.
Just so you can see the change take place, look at this little image right here.
It's of a person.
It's been updated with a violin.
So once we click Okay, we'll get a dialog box asking us to confirm that we really do want to replace the page.
We do, so I'll go ahead and click Yes.
And you'll notice that that page is updated with a new image.
To see that closer, we can exit out of the Organize Pages tool, and now you can see that the violin is here.
You can also see that the hyperlink is still intact because we have a tool tip showing us that it's linked to that Web page.
So as you can see, it's incredibly easy to replace pages inside of Acrobat. [train simple, Authorized Training Center] [www.trainsimple.com]
