The Pages menu lets you select the pages. If you don’t want to include all pages in the output file, use the pages selector to select and organize your pages:
- move pages at a different place (with drag and drop)
- delete pages (right click)
- add blank pages (right click)
The pages selector is in fact the program PDF-Shuffler, written by Konstantinos Poulios, which is opened inside PDF-Booklet. You can also use PDF-Shuffler independently, PDF-Booklet installer has created an icon for it.
You can delete several pages simultaneously. Use CTRL or SHIFT as usual to select several pages, then right click and select Clear.
You can move pages with drag and drop.
Moving several pages simultaneously is possible. When you click on the selection to drag it, the selection disappears, but all the selected pages will be moved nevertheless.
TRICK: When you move a single page, if you click and then drag without releasing the button, the image of the page is moved also and it may be difficult to see the exact place of the drop. To prevent this, click once to select your page, then click again to drag and drop, the image will not move and drop is easier.
You can adjust the scale with the slider on top of the screen:
Sometimes it may be easier to edit directly the pages list. And it is more secure if you are modifying the pages several times.
Use the menu Pages / Edit Page List for this purpose:
You can use:
- Page numbers
- Pages range separated by – (example: 1-20)
- b to indicate that a blank page must be added.
- #b (example: 5b) to add 5 blank pages.
All elements of your selection can be placed on different lines or can be separated by commas.
1-10, b, 24
or:
1-10
b
24
will give the same result.
Pages can be listed in any order. You can list the same page multiple times, and ranges can overlap. Although a nonsense, the following selection is perfectly valid:
20-50, 1-10, 5, 5, 6-40
If you have selected multiple files, for all files but the first, you must indicate the number of the file followed by a colon. Example 2: for the second file.
You can use 1: for the first file, but this is not necessary since 1: is the default. Example:
1-10
2:4
1:7
2:22-50
