Three ways to duplicate pages in a PDF.
Is there content in your document you like so much you want to see it twice? Learn how to duplicate a PDF page using three popular methods.
There are many ways to duplicate pages in a PDF. The most common methods include copying and pasting individual passages, duplicating entire pages using a PDF editor, or extracting and adding specific pages with an online editor. Learn more about all three below.
1. Copy and paste passages in a PDF document.
You might not always want to duplicate a PDF page exactly. If you’d like to be able to pick and choose the text or content you want duplicated, the copy-and-paste method might be the best route.
You can easily copy specific passages using an online PDF editor like Adobe Acrobat. Simply open the document in Acrobat and follow these steps:
- Highlight the passage you want to duplicate and click Copy text in the block that appears.
- In the toolbar, choose the Add Text option to create a new text box.
- Paste the copied text into the new text box.
- Click and drag the copied text box to the proper location on the page.
You can repeat this process for all passages you want to duplicate, giving you complete control over which information is copied and which remains static.
2. Duplicate a PDF page using a PDF editor.
If you want to duplicate PDF pages exactly, the easiest method is to use a PDF editor like Acrobat. With just a few clicks, you can make exact copies of entire pages and add them to your PDF document:
- Open the PDF with Acrobat.
- Click Tools on the top toolbar.
- Select Organize Pages.
- Hold the Control (PC) or Option (Mac) button and click and drag any pages you want to duplicate to a new location.
- Save the PDF.
To duplicate multiple PDF pages at once, simply select all the pages you want to duplicate with the Control or Option key held down. All the duplicates will be copied to the location of your choice after you let go of the mouse click.
3. Extract and add PDF pages with an online editor.
Duplicating a page in a PDF is similar to the copy and paste method but with entire pages.
Begin by using an online PDF editor to extract pages from your document. Once you upload the document to the online PDF extractor, select the pages you want to duplicate, and click Extract. This will create a new PDF with only your selected pages.
Next, use another online tool to add pages to your PDF. Upload the original PDF with all the pages, select a point where you want to insert the duplicate pages, then upload the pages you just extracted.
You should now have multiples of your chosen pages in one PDF. Download the new file, and your document is ready to share.
