How to Insert a New Page Into an Existing PDF Document?

PDF is a file format that allows you to keep different types of information in one place. It’s like a file folder or notebook, except the pages are electronic and all stored on the same document. You can add new pages to existing PDF documents with ease using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC software.

What is PDF?

PDF stands for Portable Document Format. This file format is used to present documents in a fixed layout. It’s often used to distribute documents in an electronic format, especially for presentation purposes. According to Adobe Acrobat’s experts, “Many software applications and websites can open PDF files, making it a convenient way to share and store information.”

Opening the PDF file

Once you have opened the PDF file, you have three options:

Open your existing PDF document in the Adobe Reader software. If you are using a Mac, go to Applications > Adobe Reader. If you are using Windows, search “Adobe Reader” in the Start menu or open your Desktop and right-click on the Adobe Reader icon displayed there. Now click Open With > Choose another app > Browse for an app on this PC.
Use a free trial of an online PDF editor to insert pages into an existing document with no download required!
Open any other application that supports editing PDF files (such as Microsoft Office).

Add the new page

To insert a new page into an existing PDF document, follow these steps:

Click on the Insert Page button in the toolbar. The Insert Page dialog box will be displayed.
Choose a page number from the list of available pages. You can choose any number from 1 to 699, but beware that there is no way to add page 700 (in other words, you can’t go beyond page 699).
Click on OK or press ENTER when you are done selecting a page number. Your new blank page will be inserted at this location in your document.

Save the newly created and modified PDF file

You can save the newly created and modified PDF file in the same format as that of the original document. However, you may want to save it in a different format. For instance, if you insert an image into your PDF document, it will be saved by default in JPEG format, but if you want to save it in PNG instead, then follow these steps:

Click File > Save As (or press Ctrl + S).
Browse for where you want to save your file and type in a name for it. The extension should have .pdf appended at the end of your chosen name (e.g., MyDocumentName_MyVersionNumber).

To add pages to PDF, you have to first open the file and then create a new page by selecting the Insert button. You may also add existing pages to your document by using the Merge Pages option in the application’s menu bar.
