What Organize PDF does
Organize PDF shows every page as a thumbnail you can drag. Select one page or many, then rotate, duplicate, move or delete them together. You can also insert pages from another PDF, add a blank page, or extract a selection into its own file.
Your browser does all of this locally and nothing is uploaded. Every change can be undone until you export.
Export PDF writes a new file in your page order. Form fields, links and bookmarks on the pages you keep are carried over where the document's structure allows; links to removed pages are dropped.
Is this the right tool?
Good for
- Fixing a scan that came out in the wrong order or back to front.
- Removing blank pages, duplicates or a fax cover sheet before sharing.
- Dropping an updated page into the middle of an existing document.
- Adding a blank page so a chapter starts on a right-hand page in print.
How to organize PDF pages
Open your PDF
Choose the PDF whose pages need sorting, up to 50 MB; its thumbnails load in the page workspace.
Select pages
Use the checkbox on each page, or the Select menu for All pages, Odd pages, Even pages or a Page range such as 1, 3-5.
Rearrange
Left and Right rotate the selection, Duplicate copies it, Delete removes it, and Move sends it to an exact position. Drag a page's handle to shift it by hand. Add another PDF and Insert blank page bring in new pages.
Export and download
Type a name under Output filename, select Export PDF, look through Preview PDF, then select Download PDF.
Worked example
Rescuing a back-to-front scan
Say a 12-page handbook came off the scanner back to front: the file starts at page 12, and three landscape tables are lying on their side.
Open the file and select Reverse. The whole document flips into reading order in one step. Select the checkboxes on the three sideways pages and choose Right, or press R.
The scan also picked up a blank back cover; select it and choose Delete. Ctrl+Z brings back anything removed by mistake. Then select Export PDF and download.
Tips for a better result
- Shift-click a second checkbox to select every page in between.
- Use Extract when you want a few pages as a separate file but are not finished with the main document; the workspace stays open.
- Pages that contain form fields, links or comments cannot be duplicated here; the workspace tells you when that applies.
Organize PDF: questions and answers
How do I delete pages from a PDF?
Open the file, select the pages you do not want and choose Delete, or press the Delete key. Then select Export PDF. The exported copy contains only the pages that remain; your original file is not altered.
Can I move a page from one PDF into another?
Yes. Open the document that should receive the page, select Add another PDF, choose the second file, and type the page number you want. Then pick where it goes: at the start, at the end, or before or after a specific page.
Will bookmarks and links still work after I rearrange pages?
Those that point to pages you kept still work after export, even if the page moved. Any that pointed to a deleted page are removed, since they would lead nowhere.
How large a document can I organize?
You start with one PDF of up to 50 MB and can bring in pages from other files, up to 10 source PDFs and 100 MB combined, as long as the finished document stays within 10,000 pages.
