Download Acrobat Pro Desktop App to Replace Pages
The online version of Acrobat has limited features. To replace pages just like you did in Acrobat X, you must install the desktop application included with your subscription.
Acrobat Pro subscriptions grant you access to both cloud services and the fully-featured desktop software. Advanced features like page replacement are natively handled by the desktop application.
Open your web browser, navigate to cloud.acrobat.com, and log in with your Adobe ID and password.
Navigate to the 'Acrobat Pro' tab within your account dashboard and click the 'Download' button to save the installer to your computer.
Run the installer to set up the desktop app. Once installed, launch Adobe Acrobat Pro and open the PDF document you want to edit.
Go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Organize Pages'. From the secondary toolbar, choose 'Replace', then select the file containing the new pages to swap them out.
Replace PDF Pages Quickly with WPS PDF
If you want a straightforward way to replace, extract, or organize PDF pages without dealing with confusing online subscription portals, WPS Office provides an intuitive desktop PDF editor that gets the job done instantly.
- 1. Open PDF in WPS Office: Launch WPS Office on your desktop, select the PDF module, and open the document you wish to edit.
- 2. Access Page Management: Click on the 'Page' tab located on the top ribbon. This will display all the pages in your document as easy-to-manage thumbnails.
- 3. Replace the Page: Click 'Replace Page' in the toolbar. Browse for the new PDF file, specify the page range you want to swap, and confirm the replacement.
