Duplicate Pages

Overview

Duplicate Pages creates one or more copies of selected pages within the current document. This is useful for creating repeated templates, producing multiple copies of a form page, or preparing documents where certain pages need to appear more than once.

How to use

  1. Open a PDF document in Acrobat.
  2. Go to Plug-Ins > Pages > Duplicate Pages.
  3. Specify the page range to duplicate.
  4. Enter the number of copies to create.
  5. Under Place the copies, choose where the duplicated pages should go. Choosing After this page enables the page number beside it.
  6. Click OK to duplicate the pages.

Options

OptionDescription
Page range The pages to duplicate. Choose All pages or specify a From / To range.
Number of copies How many copies of each selected page to create, from 1 to 999.

Where the copies go

The four Place the copies options match the destinations offered by Move Pages, so the two commands can target the same places.

OptionDescription
After each original page Places each duplicated page immediately after its original. When duplicating a range, each page’s copies are inserted directly after the source page.
At end of document Places all duplicated pages after the last page of the document.
Before first page Places all duplicated pages at the very start of the document.
After this page Places all duplicated pages after the page number you enter. Entering 0 is the same as Before first page.

For the last three options the selected pages are kept together as one block, in document order, and each further copy follows the one before it.

Tip

To create a booklet with repeated content (e.g. four copies of a single-page flyer on separate pages), duplicate page 1 three times with Insert at end selected, then use N-Up to tile them onto a single sheet.

Note

Annotations, form fields, and links on the original pages are copied along with the page content. Bookmarks are not duplicated automatically.
