Adding Pages to Documents

Adding Pages to PDFs​

OnCue recognizes when you add pages to your underlying PDF. If you want to replace a page, you can replace it in the PDF and OnCue will recognize the new page. When making the changes to the PDF make sure the document is not in the Viewer in OnCue.

Example:

The document with the name "Nokia" has 137 pages, as you can see at the bottom.

After selecting the files or folders to be added, drag them over to the Documents section of the Media Bar or hit the + at the top of your Files pane.

If you add pages to your PDF in your _documents folder you will see this when you click on the document in OnCue after saving in your PDF program.

Add the pages and hit refresh (F9). Done. If you are changing a document and adding pages in the middle, you will get the same dialog. OnCue will read the pages in order. Be careful with this if you have existing annotations.

Deleting Pages​

The same principal applies to deleting pages from a PDF. If you delete a page on one of your underlying documents, OnCue recognizes that and will ask you about it.

Adding Pages to Non-PDFs (.tif, .jpg, .png, etc.)​

You can see that "4 - IBM" has 19 pages in it.

Put the new NON-PDF format pages into the underlying document folder using Windows File Explorer, which in this case is the 004 folder (20.jpg, 23.tif, 27.tif are new pages).

Back in OnCue, right-click on the document you want to add the pages to (4-IBM) and select "Add Pages"

Right-click menu with Add Pages

An explorer box will pop up, select your pages, and hit Open.

The pages are given the next IDs in line regardless of what they are called.

Reordering and Renumbering Document Pages​

Did you know you can reorder pages inside OnCue without messing with the original/underlying document? Is the first page a title page and the next page is 1? Or maybe the scanned document is out of order?

You can change your starting ID number. Does your document start with page 2?

Note: this method also works reordering annotations.

Fixing a Non-Page Number Start Page​

You can drag and drop your pages to reorder a document.

1 Choose the document you want under the document tab.

2 Drag and drop the pages to reorder them. Page two is now the first page in Exhibit 4 in the image below. Note: You can drag a title page to the bottom of the document or just delete the page without deleting it from the underlying PDFs.

3 Nowright-click on your document, choose Renumber IDs, and choose Renumber IDs again. This renumbers your document starting at 1.

Fixing a Non-Page 1 Start Page​

1 Choose the document you want under the document tab,Right-click, select Renumber IDs, and thenRenumber IDs Starting with…

2 Change to your new starting number and Select Okay.

OnCue will only do consecutive numbers for auto-numbering.

You cannot change individual page IDs. To assign alternate IDs use the Bates or Name field.
