How to reorder PDF pages

Scanners produce reversed page order, double-sided batches interleave wrongly, and merged reports often need a section moved. Fixing that in a word processor means re-exporting the whole document; here you move thumbnails.
The order you see in the grid is exactly the order written to the file. Nothing is re-encoded, so a reordered document is the same quality and roughly the same size as the original.

Drag or nudge
Drag across the grid for big moves, or use the arrow buttons for single steps.

Frequently asked questions
Can I reverse the page order of a scan?
Yes, by dragging pages into place. The grid shows the resulting order at every step.
Does reordering reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied as they are; nothing is re-encoded or rasterized.
Can I move several pages at once?
Drag moves one page at a time today; the arrow buttons move a page one position per click.
Does the file size change?
Only marginally. The same page content is written in a different order.
