replace content on 1/2 page SOLVED

[vesper]

I have a pdf file sized 5.5 x 8.5 inches, and another pdf sized 5.5 x 4.25 inches, and I want to replace the top half of the first pdf with the content of the second pdf. How do I do that, please? (XChange Editor Plus build 321.0) (I really did try to search the forum for this)

Hi Al,

Thanks for the post - The only way that I can think of to do this, currently, would be to take a screen-shot, then paste the screen-shot on top and flatten it (Right Click paste image --> Flatten). We are working on a feature to merge pages, but I'm not sure whether it would allow for specific portions of pages to be selected.

Thanks,

Thanks Will. That confirms why I'm having trouble finding a way to do this. Alternately...

Is there a way to combine two 5.5 x 4.25 pdfs to create a 5.5 x 8.5 pdf? Or to paste two 5.5 x 4.25 pdfs into a 5.5 x 8.5 new pdf?

Well, okay. I got the paste screen shot approach to work, so this is now solved. Thanks, Will.

No worries Al!

There are a few potential ways:

1) Use the Document --> Resize Pages option to double the page size, then copy/paste the content on to the second page, or screen-shot and paste.
a) You can also create a new document (File --> New Document --> With Blank Pages) at the desired size, the copy/paste or
screen-shot.

2) You can print to a PDF printer (e.g. our XChange Lite & Standard printers) from the Editor and opt to install print Multiple Pages Per Sheet, with the settings outlined here:
