Every document, including instructor-generated material such as class notes, should have a copyright page attached. Selections from books should include both sides of the title page. If that's not available, the standard copyright statement can be used. All other materials need to have the standard copyright statement. At the current time, we are inserting this statement into the pdf files. In the future, when we switch to ERES, the statement will be included as a click-thru screen by the software and it will not be necessary to do this.

Acrobat allows you to insert pages in a document by combine one PDF file with another. To do this, you use the Insert Pages command and specify where the new file is placed in the target document. Acrobat only supports combining PDF documents with other PDF documents. At present, you cannot insert non-PDF files (such as Photoshop or Illustrator) into a PDF file without first converting them to PDF.

To combine two PDF files:

1. With the target document open, choose Document > Insert Pages.
2. In the Select File To Insert dialog box, select the source document you want to insert into the target document, and select Open. The standard copyright statement is the 1stpagecopyright.pdf file located in each of the reserves folders.
3. In the Insert dialog box, specify whether you want to insert the document Before or After the specified page.
4. Specify the page, either first page, last page, or enter a page number.
5. Click OK.

You may also want to insert missing pages or replace poor quality pages using this method.
