How to rearrange pages in a PDF

By the Fusion Office team · Updated

Quick answer

Open Organize PDF, choose the file, and drag the page thumbnails into the order you want. You can rotate or delete pages and add pages from another PDF on the same screen, then save the result as a new PDF.

Rearrange step by step

  1. 1Open Organize PDF and choose the PDF. Each page shows as a thumbnail.
  2. 2Drag thumbnails to move pages; drop them where they belong.
  3. 3Use the buttons on a page to rotate it or delete it, or reverse the whole order in one click.
  4. 4Use Add pages to bring in pages from another PDF, and Undo if you change your mind.
  5. 5Save the new PDF.

Pages are copied as they are, so text stays selectable and images keep their quality.

Special cases

  • Scanned fronts and backs as two files: Alternate & Mix interleaves them automatically.
  • Whole files in a new order: Merge PDF arranges files rather than pages.
  • Many pages turned the wrong way: Rotate PDF rotates a list of pages in one go.

To remove pages rather than move them, see How to delete pages from a PDF.
