# Duplicating the Front Page

In thumbnail view, you can copy the front page of a document or a binder and create a separate document.
Procedure
1.
In thumbnail view, select a document or a binder, then select [Duplicate Front Page] from the [Page] menu.
The front page of the document or binder is duplicated.
The duplicated document is cascaded over the original. The name of the duplicated document is created by appending a delimiter and a number to the name of the original document. The type of delimiter to use and the number of digits to append can be set in [Document Operation] under [DocuWorks Desk Options] in the [Preferences] dialog box.

## Precautions for copying the displayed page

- The duplicate function cannot be used in the following types of documents and the following instance:

- DocuWorks containers
- DocuWorks protected documents
- DocuWorks signed documents
- Secured PDF files
- Signed PDF files
- When selecting multiple documents
- Files other than DocuWorks documents, DocuWorks binders, and PDF documents

- The original data is not attached to the duplicated document.

The attributes of the duplicated PDF documents are as follows:

- General document property information of the original PDF document becomes that of the duplicated PDF documents.
- The attached files do not remain attached to duplicated pages.
  Duplicated pages retain files attached as annotations.
  The thumbnails of PDF documents with attached files have a icon in the lower-right.
- If you duplicate a PDF document that has been optimized for Fast Web View, the duplicated PDF document is no longer optimized for Fast Web View.
- The duplicated PDF documents do not carry the same bookmark information as the original PDF document. The bookmark information of the original PDF document does not change by using the [Duplicate Front Page] function.
- If processing takes more than an hour, processing is timed out and canceled.
