About reordering PDF pages

Page order goes wrong in predictable ways. A document feeder stacks a batch back to front, so the whole scan is reversed. A duplex scanner puts all the fronts first and all the backs after them. Someone sends a report with the appendix ahead of the conclusion.

Dragging previews is the quickest fix for a short document; Reverse order handles the back-to-front batch in one press. For keyboard use, every page has arrow buttons that move it one position at a time, so the tool works without a mouse or a trackpad.

Saving writes a new PDF with the pages copied in their new order, content untouched. The original file is left exactly as it was.

Questions about reordering PDF pages

How do I reverse the page order of a PDF?

Choose the file and press Reverse order, then Save new order. This is the usual fix for a stack that went through a document feeder the wrong way round.

Can I move a page from the end to the beginning?

Yes. Drag its preview to the front, or use its arrow buttons. There is no limit on how far a page can travel.

Does reordering work without a mouse?

Yes. Tab to a page in the grid and use its arrow buttons to move it one place at a time, which also works with a screen reader.

Will the new file keep its quality?

Yes. Pages are copied in their new order, not re-rendered, so text, fonts and images are unchanged.

Can I delete pages here too?

Deleting has its own page, which is better suited to it. Reordering and deleting are kept separate so that each selection means one thing.
