Reorder pages in a PDF

Reordering pages is a drag-and-drop operation in our editor. The sidebar shows every page as a thumbnail; grab one and drop it where you want. The other pages slide out of the way and re-number themselves. You don't have to think about page indexes or write a range string — what you see is what the saved file will look like.

Reorder is the right tool for combining sections that came in the wrong order (the appendix landed before the executive summary), for rearranging chapters of a book proof, or for putting a cover sheet at the front of a stack. It pairs well with merge and split — many real workflows are: merge several files, reorder the result, then save. Or: split a master, reorder the pieces, recombine.

Because the tool works on the page-tree of the PDF directly, the reordered file is fully equivalent to what you would get by manually re-exporting from the source application. Embedded bookmarks point at the new page positions automatically, and printing follows the new order without any "print pages in document order" toggle needed.
