Do you need to change the order of pages in a PDF file? Whether you have to edit the order of pages, reorder pages or otherwise simply change the order of your PDF, this click-and-drag tool will make it easy for you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change the Order of PDF Pages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The size of a PDF can range from just a couple of pages to an entire e-book with hundreds of pages. When creating a PDF, it\u2019s easy to accidentally place pages out of order or need to rearrange them. The problem is, once the PDF is created, it\u2019s difficult to edit page order when you\u2019re using a PDF reader. To rearrange pages, you\u2019ll need an editing tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PDF.Live provides an online editor<\/a> to change and reorder PDF pages. With the editor, it\u2019s as easy as dragging and dropping the pages in the order of your choice. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to rearrange PDF pages however you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps for Reordering Pages in a PDF File<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To get started changing page order, you\u2019ll need to convert your PDF into an editable PDF<\/a>. Simply drag and drop the PDF into the editor and select Edit PDF. <\/strong>This will convert the PDF to an editable PDF and open the PDF.Live online editor, which functions entirely in your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Upload<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The PDF live editor has a lot of powerful editing options for PDFs. But today we\u2019ll be focusing on the Manage Pages <\/strong>option located on the left side of the PDF.Live editor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This will open the Thumbnail page view<\/strong>. This allows you to quickly overview and scroll through the different pages of your PDF. You\u2019ll see smaller thumbnail versions of your PDF pages to get a sense of the content contained on each page. There are also several different tools available for organizing, removing, or inserting new pages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Six<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This thumbnail view also allows you to rearrange the order of a PDF\u2019s pages. Simply click and drag the page to wherever you\u2019d like it to be. You will have to release your mouse click when a blue vertical line appears, indicating which page you\u2019re going to put the page you\u2019ve select din front of. Once you\u2019ve dragged the page to the new location, you\u2019ll see the new order reflected in the thumbnail viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the above example, we\u2019ve rearranged the order of this 6 page brochure by clicking and dragging the pages around. Once you\u2019ve got an order you\u2019re happy with, select Confirm. <\/strong>The pages will be rearranged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have all the pages where you\u2019d like them to be, you\u2019ll need to download the PDF again. The downloaded version of the PDF will contain all the edits that you\u2019ve made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a lot of pages in your PDF, you may need to scroll up or down on the page organization tool to see all of the pages in your document. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To combine more than one PDF, use the Merge<\/strong> function<\/a> that combines two or more different PDFs. To learn more about doing this, we recommend checking out the Extract-Split-Separate a Page from a PDF<\/strong><\/a> article that details how to extract specific pages from a different PDF and then place them in a new PDF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
