This guide takes a closer look at two cornerstone functions—adding new pages and rotating existing ones—so that you can manage your PDFs efficiently and maintain a polished workflow from start to finish.

How to access the document Page Manipulation tools

Drawboard PDF's page management functionality centers around a dedicated panel accessible from the interface's left-hand side.

As soon as you open a PDF, you can navigate to the three-dot icon to open the “Document Options” menu and reveal the page manipulation tab. From there, you can choose the action you want to take: Add, Rotate, or Delete.

Adding new pages is essential appending new data, inserting placeholders for notes, or adding templates for calculations or sketches as a project evolves. 

Fortunately, the process in Drawboard PDF is straightforward, allowing you to place new pages exactly where they are needed.

Start by navigating to Document Options -> Page Manipulation -> Insert. Then click ‘Insert’ to open a dialogue box with more options for the number of pages, page customization, and positioning.

  • Pages To Add: The number of pages you’ll add at the chosen position.
  • Placement: Whether you place the new page(s) before or after the chosen position
  • Position: The reference page for the placement of your new page(s)
  • Orientation: Whether the new page(s) will be portrait (tall) or landscape (wide)
  • Page Size: The dimensions of the page(s) you add (Letter, A4, etc.)
  • Background (Pro Version): The template your new page(s) will use (like grids or colored background)

Once you’ve chosen your options, click the checkmark to confirm your new additions. Then, scan your file to make sure everything’s in the right place.

How to rotate PDF pages

As you work with documents that contain diagrams, scanned text, or large-format images, you might find pages that are flipped or sideways. 

With Drawboard PDF, rotating pages is performed through the same menu panel as inserting new ones.

  1. Go to Document Options -> Page Manipulation -> Rotate
  2. Click ‘Rotate’ to open the rotation dialogue box
  3. Select the range of pages you want to rotate, or match the “From” and “To” pages to rotate a single page
  4. Choose the direction to rotate your page(s) (clockwise or counterclockwise)
  5. Click the checkmark to confirm the changes

Be sure to double-check your changes before saving or sending.
