Acrobat 6

[groov539]

Am I the only one who prefers Acrobat 5 over 6 or 7?

When adding multiple pages to a .pdf file all at one time in Acrobat 6, I can't get them to flow into the existing document in numerical order. I'm able to successfully do this in 5.

Any suggestions?

If you use Document menu/Pages/insert, you get the window that asks where to insert - before or after a certain page #.

If you want to add just a few pages from one pdf to another, you can extract teh pages from the first and add them to the second.

I appreciate the advise however, my problem isn't solved.

The issue here is not about inserting and/or extracting pages.. The problem here is about getting pages to flow IN NUMBERICAL ORDER upon insertion..

In other words, in Acrobat 5, I can add a range of pages, let's say Page #20 through Page #80 into a current .pdf that ends on Page #19.. And my updated document now flows NUMERICALLY from Page #1 through Page #80.

In Acrobat 6, using the same scenario above, I end up with a document with pages OUT OF ORDER after adding pages 20-80 (Page 20, 25, 36, 23, 78, 40, etc..) This isn't what I want!

I understand page insertion, extraction, etc.

What I don't understand is why Acrobat 6 and 7 are so USELESS in some tasks compared to 5!

I'm using Acrobat 7.0. After you add the pages (using your example of inserting AFTER after the last page)...Go to "Headers & Footers" and use the REPLACE the page numbers features. I think it was the same menu item in Acrobat 6.0.
