1. Open the PDF
Choose the PDF whose pages are out of order. This often happens after scanning documents in several batches or combining files.
2. Identify each page
Look at page thumbnails before moving anything. Cover sheets, signature pages, attachments, and receipts are much easier to recognize visually.
3. Drag pages into the correct order
Move each page until the document follows the intended sequence from beginning to end.
4. Create a new PDF
Export a reordered copy rather than altering the source file. That way you always have the original version available.
Reorder vs merge
Reorder PDF changes pages inside one document. Merge PDF combines two or more separate PDF files. If you have several files, merge them first or arrange the files in the merge tool.

Can I reorder PDF pages visually?
