FileHold viewers – Page manipulation and publishing
Pages in a document can be manipulated, such as adding, deleting, copying, dragging and dropping pages, rotating, and flipping, in all FileHold viewers, if permitted by an administrator. Enabling or disabling annotation mode is permitted in level 2 and 3 viewers.
For a complete list of functionality availability for each viewer, see FileHold Viewers. Your system administrator may have restricted page manipulation.
