How to do it

the tool · the steps · what to avoid
  1. 1

    Open the tagged PDF file into which you want to insert pages.

  2. 2

    Ensure the document is tagged by opening the Tags pane and confirming the presence of a tag tree.

    CautionIf the document is not tagged, use the Accessibility tools to add tags before inserting pages.

  3. 3

    Select Organize Pages from the right pane or the Tools menu.

  4. 4

    Click Insert and choose From File… to select the PDF pages you want to insert.

  5. 5

    In the Insert Pages dialog, specify where to insert the new pages and click OK.

  6. 6

    After insertion, open the Accessibility tools and run Autotag Document or manually update the tag tree to ensure the new pages are properly tagged and structured.

    Best practiceManually review the tag tree after insertion, as automatic tagging may not always correctly reflect complex layouts or content from the inserted pages.

  7. 7

    Use the Reading Order tool or the Tags pane to verify and adjust tags for the inserted content as needed.

  8. 8

    Save the document to preserve the updated tags and structure.

After inserting pages, always verify the tag structure to ensure all new content is accessible and properly ordered.

This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.

FAQ

about this task

In Adobe Acrobat, you can insert blank or section pages to help screen readers and users with disabilities understand the document better. Use the 'Organize Pages' tool to add new pages where needed, then check that the reading order and tags are correct.

Adding pages like section dividers or blank pages can make it easier for people using screen readers to follow the document's structure. It helps everyone understand where new sections or important breaks are.

You can insert blank pages, section divider pages with headings, or information pages that explain changes in content. Choose the type that makes your document clearer and easier to navigate for all users.

No, you need Adobe Acrobat (the full version) to insert or organize pages in a PDF. Acrobat Reader only lets you view and comment, not edit the document structure.

Fixing tags helps screen readers understand the content, but adding pages can improve the document's structure and navigation. Both are important for making a PDF fully accessible.
