Hi,
Any way I could select a page in thumbnails and then hit
ctrl+alt+something
to make that thumbnail go ahead one spot. Then
ctrl+alt+some-other-key
to make that thumbnail go backwards
Sincerely,
SCH

Re: Keyboard Shortcut to Move Pages Back or Ahead via Thumbnail Pane SOLVED
Hello shade-cabin-hammock,
Do you want to change the actual order of the pages in the document (e.g. page 4 to become page 3) - or do you just want to navigate in there?
If you want to reorder the pages in the document - then there is a "Move Pages..." command - but this involves a pop-up window and you selecting where you want your selected page(s) to be moved. There is no "move 1/2/x pages up/down" option.
As for navigating - you can navigate with just the arror keys and hitting enter will take you to the new page that you navigated to.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Ah! Yep. I was thinking of something where I could push the pages around in the "deck" such as it is. Similar to what we have with bookmarks - you can actually select a bookmark, then hit - if I recall right - alt+arrow - to push the bookmark in one direction or another.
Did see the pop-up but it's a bit too step-intensive. Not to mention that I've got to think! "Is that page..."
For me, click and drag is good enough for a one-off. But...the file I'm stuck in currently has...1,035 pages <cries, dies> After about 10 minutes, the click and drag is just too "subjective" if you know what I mean? So, wish list that, eh?
Thanks for all the good work you all are up to there. I'm hip deep in files all doggone day and count PDF-X as the plowshare.
Sincerely,
SCH

Hello shade-cabin-hammock,
The thing is that you can have a selection of non consecutive pages and move that to before/after another given page - and this rearrangement is a bit more complex than moving a single page up/down one position in 'the stack'. I feel your pain with a 1030+ pages document, but for the moment I can't offer a quicker solution than drag and drop (Unless you need to do the same task repetitively - e.g. move 1 page to pages back, then work on the next group of 3 - this can be done with a JS for likely a few seconds even on a 1000+ page file).
I will bring your Feature Request up for consideration but can't make any promises!
Kind regards,
Stefan
