PDF Magic I

I’ve talked about Preview before, and I’ve made no secret that I think it’s one of the best things that your Mac has in it’s application folder. Here’s a trick that found out today by accident. I was asked to make a document in Word, that needed a few full pages from a PDF document. Just on a whim I tried to pull some pages out of my PDF file into my Word document. The following video should show you the result of my experiment!

From the video you can see that my empty Word document is on the left, with 3 empty pages. My PDF document is on the right with 3 pages. Simply pull any page out of the PDF Preview Sidebar, and put it into an empty Word document.

Of course, in this video, I simply take 3 pages and put them into 3 pages into a Word document. This is simply to show you how easy the procedure is. In my own document, I had to mix pages of text, with various pages from the PDF document. The final Word document was saved, and then printed to PDF. Now this is what I call a real time saver.
