The Page List

The Page List lists all pages that together make up the document. You can sort the pages by number, source name or label by clicking on the respective column header at the top of the list. You modify a source name by double clicking it and typing the new name, and likewise you can modify a single label by double clicking it and typing the new label. You can reorder the pages manually by dragging one or more selected pages and dropping them into the desired place. You can import documents from the Finder and import pages from other PDFClerk documents by dragging them and dropping them into place on the list.

The Page List Contextual Menu.

The contextual menu allows the following operations:

bullet Add Blank Page: Appends a blank page after the last page in the list.

bullet Insert Blank Page: Inserts a blank page before the currently selected page in the list (if the list has a multiple selection it inserts before the last page added to the selection).

bullet Remove Selected Pages: Removes the selected pages from the document.

bullet Merge Selected Pages: Merges all selected pages together into a single tall page. See Merging and Splitting Pages.

bullet Relabel Selected Pages…: Brings up the Relabel Pages dialog, which permits changing the labels of selected pages in a batch.

bullet Rename Source of Selected Pages…: Brings up the New Source Name dialog, which permits changing the names of the sources of selected pages in a batch.

bullet Reverse Selected Pages: Reverse the order of the selected pages. This also works on non-contiguous selections. E.g. if out of five pages pages 1, 3 and 5 are selected and this option is selected from the menu, then afterwards the order of those five pages will be 5, 2, 3, 4, 1.

bullet Select Alternating Pages: Creates a non-contiguous selection of pages in the following way:

  • If no page, or page 1 is selected, selects page 1, 3, 5, 7, etc.
  • If a single page page is selected, selects every other page starting from the selected page. E.g. 2, 4, 6, 8
  • If multiple pages are selected, removes every other page from the selection. E.g. a selection with pages 3 through 8 becomes a selection of pages 3, 5 and 7. A selection of non-contiguous pages 3, 5, 6, 7, 14 and 15 becomes 3, 6 and 14.

bullet Invert Selection: Deselects any currently selected page and selects any page that was not selected.
