Rearrange pages
Load a PDF and drag thumbnails into order. On touch devices or for exact placement, select a page and use Move left, Move right, or Move to page. Reverse order fixes scans loaded back-to-front.

Your PDF bytes are read by browser JavaScript and are not sent to Starlight Tools. This page currently downloads the PDF.js viewer code from jsDelivr; the tool does not send your document bytes to that service.

Example challenge: reorder the pages to 2, 1, 4; delete page 3; then export. One page is sideways, one is upside down, and page 3 is intentionally blank.
Keyboard: focus a page and press Alt+Left or Alt+Right to move it. Shortcuts R, Delete, and Backspace work only while focus is inside this workspace and never while typing or using a control.

How to organize PDF pages
Rotate selected pages
Select one or more pages, then rotate them left or right. Individual page controls are useful when only one scan is sideways or upside down.
Remove pages safely
Select unwanted pages and choose Delete selected. Bulk deletion is confirmed, every deletion is undoable, and Restore deleted pages returns removed pages to their recorded positions.
Common scanned-document fixes
Reorder receipts scanned in reverse, rotate landscape charts, duplicate a cover sheet, insert a blank separator, remove scanner test pages, or append a second batch of scans.
Troubleshooting
Encrypted PDFs are not supported. A corrupt or unsupported file may not open. For memory errors, close other tabs, try a desktop device, split the source PDF, or process fewer high-resolution scans at once.
What export preserves
Page artwork is copied without intentional rasterization. The PDF is rebuilt, so file size can change and document-level features may not survive. Always review the exported result.
Important export limitations
Digital signatures, bookmarks, metadata, attachments, forms, accessibility tags, links, and scripts may be changed or lost depending on the source PDF. Modifying a signed PDF invalidates its signature. For contracts and other sensitive documents, keep the original and verify the downloaded copy before use.
PDF organizer FAQ
Are my PDF files uploaded?
No. Your PDF bytes are read and processed by JavaScript on this device and are not sent to Starlight Tools. The page currently downloads the PDF.js viewer library from jsDelivr, but the document itself is not sent there by this tool.
Does this work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in a current mobile browser with enough device memory. Use the visible Move left, Move right, and Move to page controls if dragging is awkward on a touch screen.
Which browsers are supported?
Use a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari with JavaScript enabled. Older browsers may lack the PDF, drag, or download features this organizer needs.
Can I open a password-protected PDF?
Not currently. Remove the password in an authorized PDF application, then load the unlocked copy. The tool reports encrypted files instead of repeatedly asking for a password.
What is the maximum PDF size?
There is no fixed server limit because processing is local. The practical limit depends on the file, page complexity, free memory, browser, and device; large scanned PDFs may exceed mobile memory.
Will quality or file size change?
Page artwork is copied without intentional rasterization, but the PDF is rebuilt and its file size can increase or decrease. Review the exported file before relying on it.
Can I organize more than one PDF?
Yes. Load a main PDF, then choose Append PDF to add every page from another PDF to the workspace. You can repeat this action.
Can I delete or rotate multiple pages?
Yes. Select multiple thumbnails, then use Rotate selected or Delete selected. Bulk deletion asks for confirmation, and deleted pages can be restored before or after export while the workspace remains open.
Can I extract selected pages as another PDF?
Yes. Select one or more pages and choose Extract selected. The main workspace is not changed.
What happens to signatures, bookmarks, forms, and metadata?
Rebuilding a PDF can change or remove digital signatures, bookmarks, metadata, attachments, forms, accessibility tags, links, and scripts. Any modification invalidates an existing digital signature, so use an original signed file for verification.
