Replace a PDF page

Swap page 3 for the signed copy, or slot a new page in before page 5 — pages from a second PDF placed exactly where you say.

How to replace a PDF page

  1. Drop the document first, then the PDF holding the new page or pages.
  2. Say which pages to replace, or where to insert.
  3. Press Replace and download the new PDF.

What happens to your file

One pass through qpdf writes a new document: the first PDF’s pages before the seam, the chosen pages of the second, then the rest. Nothing is re-rendered — text stays text, bookmarks and links on the kept pages survive, and the file is not rasterised on the way.

Until now this took three tools in a row: delete the page, merge the new one onto the end, then reorder it into place. A signed page, a corrected figure, a missing appendix — this is that in one step.

Both documents stay on the server for 24 hours and the result for 7 days; nobody reads either.

Questions

Which file goes first?

The document you are changing. The second file supplies the pages that go in. If you dropped them the wrong way round, drag them into order before pressing Replace.

Can I replace several pages with one?

Yes — "2-4" in Pages to replace and "1" in Pages to take puts one page where three were. The document gets shorter by two pages.

What if I only want to insert?

Leave Pages to replace empty and set Insert before page. Leave both empty and the pages are appended at the end.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.

Add to Chrome — freeWhat it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "pdf.insert",
    "options": {
      "file_ids": [
        "<second file id>"
      ]
    }
  }'

The same operation, pdf.insert — Pages from a second PDF (`file_ids`, optionally `pages`) put into the first before page `at` — or in place of the pages named by `replace`. One run where delete, merge and reorder took three. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
