Overview
Shift Page Content moves all content on selected pages horizontally and/or vertically by a specified distance. The page dimensions remain unchanged — only the content position shifts. This is useful for adjusting binding margins, correcting scanner misalignment, or repositioning content that is off-centre.
How to use
- Open a PDF document in Acrobat.
- Go to Plug-Ins > Pages > Shift Page Content.
- Select the page range to shift.
- Choose the measurement unit.
- Enter the horizontal and/or vertical shift amounts.
- Click OK to apply the shift.

Tip
To add a binding gutter to odd pages only, shift the content of odd-numbered pages to the right by the desired gutter width (e.g. 0.5 inches).
Warning
Content shifted beyond the page boundary will be clipped and not visible. The underlying data is still present but will not print or display.
