Thumb side panel : how to select only odd or even pages?

Post by bernard meunier »

Hi,

From the thumb side panel, it is possible to select pages based on variouses criteria: blank, with comments, with images

Is there an easy way to select only odd or even pages (goal would be to either apply a watermarking or even to manualy resize them).

Regards
Bernard

Resize and Watermarks offer to act on either even or odd pages. Look under Subset pull down.

Adjust the width of the Thumbnails pane to show two thumbnails side by side.

Then you can drag-select either of the two rows of thumbnails by mouse.

Cheers

Maybe it just makes sense to add the "Select Even Pages" option to
  1. Select All / Deselect All / Invert Selection
  2. Pages with Comments
  3. Pages with Links
  4. Pages with Form Fields
  5. Pages with Text
  6. Pages with Images
  7. Pages with Path Items
  8. Pages with Search Results
  9. Empty Pages
  10. Pages that are Bookmark Targets
  11. Pages that are Link Targets
list? Then, after selecting, you can invert the selected pages in the Thumbnails Pane or deselect pages that do not require the operation.

That would be definitively nice ... at least for me and also for users looking for such but not so often (more intuitive).
Great suggestion.
