In our last post we looked at the new annotation features in Adobe Reader XI. Those features are useful if you need to makes comments or markup a PDF file. But what if you want to extract pages from a PDF file, or rearrange the pages, or combine multiple PDF files together into one document.

Win2PDF can be used with Adobe Reader (or any other PDF viewing application) to accomplish these tasks. You’ll essentially need to open a existing PDF file in Adobe Reader and print a range of pages to Win2PDF. If you print just a simple range of pages once, you can “extract” pages. If you print a series of different pages and then merge them together in a new file, you can “rearrange” the PDF. Or, if you print an entire PDF and append the results to a different PDF file, you can effectively “merge” the two files together.
