Organise PDF pages

Reorder, rotate and delete PDF pages

The page rail is a live view of the document. Drag a thumbnail and the page moves; rotate a scan that came in sideways; drop the blank sheet the scanner added. Every change is applied to the file you export.

How to reorder, rotate and delete pdf pages

  1. 1

    Open the PDF

    Every page appears as a thumbnail in the rail down the left-hand side.

  2. 2

    Reorder by dragging

    Pick a thumbnail up and drop it where it belongs. With a page selected, Alt and the up or down arrow keys nudge it one position at a time.

  3. 3

    Rotate, duplicate, delete

    Each thumbnail carries controls to rotate it a quarter turn either way, duplicate it, or remove it. You can also append a blank page at the end.

  4. 4

    Download

    The exported PDF matches the rail exactly — same order, same orientation, same page count.

Rotation is recorded, then applied

Turning a page stores a rotation against it rather than redrawing the content. On export that rotation is composed with whatever the page already had, so a scan that was 90° out ends up upright without a second copy of the image.

Keyboard reordering

Dragging is awkward when a document runs to hundreds of pages. Selecting a page and holding Alt with the arrow keys walks it through the document a step at a time, which is far easier to aim.

One document, all the tools

Reorganising is not a separate mode. The same document can be signed, annotated, watermarked and numbered in the same session, then exported once.

Questions

No — a document needs at least one page, so the delete control switches off when only one is left.
