Learn how to update PDFs by replacing pages in Acrobat on desktop.
You can replace one or more pages in a PDF with pages from another PDF or with an image. Replacing pages helps you update documents or combine content from multiple sources. Acrobat replaces only the text and images on the original pages. It preserves interactive elements like links and bookmarks.
Replace pages in a single PDF
Windows
Select Replace in the left pane.
In the file explorer window, do one of the following:
- To use pages from another PDF, select the PDF containing the replacement pages.
- To use an image, select All Files from the file type dropdown menu, and then select the image.
Select Open.
In the Replace Pages dialog box:
- Under Original, enter the page numbers to be replaced in your current document.
- Under Replacement, enter the first page number of the replacement range. Acrobat will calculate the last page based on the number of pages being replaced.
Select Ok and save your updated PDF.
macOS
Open the PDF that contains the pages you want to replace and select All tools > Organize pages.
Select Replace in the left pane.
In the file explorer window, do one of the following:
- To use pages from another PDF, select the PDF containing the replacement pages.
- To use an image, select Show Options, select All Files from the dropdown menu, and then select the image.
Choose Select.
In the Replace Pages dialog box:
- Under Original, enter the page numbers to be replaced in your current document.
- Under Replacement, enter the first page number of the replacement range. Acrobat will calculate the last page based on the number of pages being replaced.
Select Ok and save your updated PDF.
Replace pages between multiple PDFs
Open both the PDF you want to update and the PDF containing the replacement pages.
Select All tools > Organize pages for both PDFs to display the page thumbnails.
In the PDF with the replacement pages, select the page(s) you want to use:
- On Windows, press Ctrl and select the pages.
- On macOS, press Command and select the pages.
Drag the selected thumbnails to the document area of your target PDF.
Release the mouse when the pointer is directly over the page number where you want to insert the new pages.
Note
The selected pages will replace an equal number of pages in the target PDF, starting at the page number where you dropped them.
Save your updated PDF.
