The Adobe Express app opens in a new window. Select a template for your new page and adjust colors or text as desired using the editing tools. Once you've finished customizing the page, select Add.

The new page is added as the first page in your PDF. Acrobat adjusts the added template as per the document size. You can drag the added page to the desired position in the PDF.
