Correct reflow problems with the Content panel
Use the Content panel to correct reflow problems in a PDF that can’t be corrected by using the Touch Up Reading Order
tool. Because you can damage a PDF by editing content objects, make sure that you’re familiar with PDF structure
before you change anything. For comprehensive information about PDF structure, see the PDF Reference Sixth Edition:
Adobe Portable Document Format Version 1.7, on th
page (English only) of the Adobe website.
The Content panel provides a hierarchical view of the objects that make up a PDF, including the PDF object itself. Each
document includes one or more pages, a set of annotations (such as comments and links), and the content objects for
the page. The content objects consist of containers, text, paths, and images. Objects are listed in the order in which they
appear on the page, like tags in the logical structure tree. However, PDFs don’t require tags for you to view or change
the object structure.
Choose View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panels > Content.

Move a container or object by selecting it and doing one of the following:
• Drag it to the location you want.
• Choose Cut from the options menu, select the tag above the location you want to paste the cut tag, and choose
Paste from the options menu.
Note: Container elements can’t be pasted directly to page elements. To move a container to another page, cut the
container you want to move. Then select a container on the page you want to move the container to and choose Paste
from the options menu. Then, drag the container out one level to the location that you want.
Content panel options
In the Content panel, use the options menu or right-click an object to choose from the following options:
