A method and apparatus for manipulating an electronic document. Electronic document data representing pages to be rendered on an associated output device are received and displayed to a user as tiles.A user creates a binder document to which are added images of the pages of a document or documents. The user, via a graphical user interface, is able to selectively arrange the pages in the binder. Using drag and drop or cut and paste techniques, pages are copied from the original document or documents in a document management system and pasted into the binder. As the pages are placed in the binder, they are converted into an appropriate format, corresponding to a preselected binder format. The binder document is then capable of being stored, printed, viewed and managed as an individual document.
