In the Content panel in the navigation pane, you can view pages and objects, and correct reflow problems in a PDF. The panel provides a hierarchical view of objects including pages, annotations (like comments, form fields, and links), and containers. In the panel, objects are listed in the order in which they appear on the page. You can move objects in the panel to adjust the content order by dragging and dropping objects.
In the Content panel, you can perform actions as below:
- You can move a container or object by selecting it and drag it to the desired location.
Click the Options menu at the top of the Content panel and choose an option (or right-click a page or an object and choose an option from the context menu).
New Container – Creates a new container object at the end of the selected page or container.
Cut – Cuts and copies the selected object(s).
Paste – Pastes content below the selected object at the same hierarchical level.
