Pro tips for better results

  • Use this after splitting/extracting if you want a custom document structure.
  • If your PDF has many pages, write the order in a text editor first, then paste it in.
  • After reordering, add page numbers so references match the final layout.
  • Rotate pages before reordering if orientation is mixed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write the new order?

Write a comma-separated list of page numbers in the exact order you want them to appear. Example: `10,1,2,3`.

Can I duplicate a page using reorder?

Most reorder tools expect each page once. If you need duplication, extract the page as its own file and merge it in twice.

What if I make a mistake?

Simply run the tool again with the corrected order. Your original file remains unchanged.
