Organize the pages of a PDF

Every page as a thumbnail, on one board. Drag them to reorder, rotate them, remove the ones that no longer serve. This is the view where you finally see what a hundred-page document holds. Three gestures are enough to set it straight, and the original file is never modified.

How to organize the pages of a PDF

Open the document: every page appears as a thumbnail on one board. Drag them to change their order, select several at once to move them together, rotate them, remove the ones that no longer serve, and confirm. This is the view where you finally see what a hundred-page document holds, and where three gestures are enough to set straight a file scanned out of order. Pages keep their content, their links and their quality: nothing is re-laid out and nothing is recompressed, only the order changes. The original file on your disk is never modified — you download a new document. Everything happens in the browser, a large file included, since nothing has to be uploaded before it can be handled. The board stays usable on a document of several hundred pages, which is where it is needed most.

Inserting pages from another document

To slip a supporting paper into the middle of a case file, merge the two files first, then move the newly arrived pages into place on the board. It is the shortest order of gestures, and it saves having to cut up and glue a document back together in three pieces.

Frequently asked questions

Can I move several pages at once?

Yes: select them, then drag the group to its new place.

Does it work by touch?

Yes. A long press picks the thumbnail up, then your finger takes it where it belongs.

Do the bookmarks follow?

Yes: a bookmark points at a page, and the page carries its bookmark wherever it goes. The Bookmarks panel shows the resulting outline, and an entry left orphaned shows up at once.

Can I insert pages from another document?

Yes, by way of merging: bring the two files together, then put the pages back in the order you want on the page organizer.

Does the page organizer work on a large document?

Yes. Thumbnails are drawn as you scroll, so a document of several hundred pages opens without a wait.
