Are there more ways to rearrange PDFs without using an external tool?

Yes, among other things, you can re-scan the documents in the correct order. But this feature (organize PDF pages) lets you do it as quickly as possible, maintaining the quality you had at the beginning. Time is money and being able to have this kind of tool makes your work much easier.

If I reorder PDFs, will the result take up more space?

It doesn't have to. The result shouldn't take up much more space. It is true that, when modifying a document, it may slightly vary in size, so the result may take more or less space than before, but this will depend on the type of actions the program performs. Remember, also, that you can always make the PDF smaller, so that it doesn't have space problems.

Can the resulting document, after reordering the PDF, be edited?

Yes, it can be edited, but for this you must find a program that allows you to modify your PDF's content or, much easier, a tool that lets you change the format into another one that allows you to edit it. We always recommend using online applications like ours, since this way you avoid having to install programs on your PC.

If I order a PDF, will the resulting format change?

No, the format will remain the same. In that sense you don't have to worry, since, once the process to organize PDF pages is finished, the resulting extension will be .pdf, which is exactly the same as the one you had at the beginning. This will allow you to work on this document from all computers without any trouble.

When organizing the PDF, can I combine it with another PDF document?

Sure! As we answered before, using a tool that allows you to join PDFs you can combine as many files as you want. However, you should know the documents' order so you don't have to re-organize them later.

Alternatives To Rearrange PDFs

PDF Organizer On Windows

Windows 10, 8, XP and previous versions of Microsoft's operating system have a versatile solution to organize PDFs. This solution is Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, a well-known program, the disadvantage of which is that it requires a paid subscription to use. However, Acrobat is still an alternative to reorder PDFs, so if you have a license, you can carry out this action as follows:

Open the file you want to rearrange in Acrobat Reader DC.
Then, in the right-side menu, click on the "Organize pages" button.
You’ll see a pop-up window in which you have to click on "Organize." From here, just follow the on-screen instructions.

Rearrange PDFs On Mac

On Mac, the steps to modify the pages of PDFs are detailed below:

Open the document with Preview, macOS’s default PDF visualizing program.
Right-click on any of the thumbnails of the pages, and then click "Sort by".
Now choose how you want to sort the document: by name, by path, by date, by size, or by class. That's it, your document will now be organized!

Reorder PDF Pages On Android

Android users can reorder their PDFs with any of the related apps in the Google Play Store. The most well-known is, of course, the paid Adobe Acrobat Reader app. With this app, just follow these simple steps:

Open your file with the Adobe Acrobat Reader app.
Once open, click on the pencil icon at the bottom right of your screen.
Now, go to "Organize pages", and if you have a paid Adobe plan, you'll be able to sort the pages of your PDF as you want.
If you don't have a paid Adobe license, you can try the other options in the Google Play Store.

PDF Arranger For iPhone/iPad

While on Apple computers, the method to organize PDFs is really simple, it’s not so easy on iPhone or iPad. To begin with, you need to download an application.To do this, go to the Apple App Store and try searching "organize pdf", "reorder pdf" or "pages pdf". Then, once you install any of the available apps, follow the steps below:

Open the document with your preferred PDF viewer on your iPhone or iPad.
Share it —just as if you were going to email it— but, in this case, select the organize PDF app that you’ve installed on your device.
Said app should open and, from here, follow the on-screen instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Changing PDF Order

Is there a way to rearrange PDFs without using apps or software?

Yes, among other things, you could re-scan the document with the pages in the correct order. However, the advantage of our app over doing this is that it’s much quicker than rescanning all the pages again. Time is money, and so using our kind of tool makes your work much quicker and simpler.

When I reorder a PDF, will the resulting file take up more space?

No, the reordered document shouldn't take up more space. The new file may be slightly larger or smaller than the original one. However, because overall the number of pages will be the same, the file should be around the same size. Also, remember that you can always compress the PDF to make the file smaller if you need to.

After reordering PDFs, can I edit them?

Yes, to do this, visit our edit PDF page and follow the instructions. It’s far simpler to edit a document online with our service like ours than downloading a program to do it, because our tool works 100% in the cloud, so it works instantaneously, it’s free and secure.

When I order PDFs, will the file format change?

This is convenient because this is a universally accepted format, compatible with all devices and operating systems. As such, when you reorder PDFs with our tool, you can rest assured that the document you receive can be uploaded, sent or stored anywhere you need to.

Can I insert photos (JPGs) while organizing PDFs?

For this, you have to use another type of tool intended for it, since, as its name states, this tool simply allows you to sort PDFs. To do this, we have an online application to merge PDFs, which will let you insert pictures.

When organizing a PDF, can I combine it with another document?

Sure, although you’ll need to use a different tool to do this. On our merge PDFs page, you can combine as many files as you want. Importantly, though, you should work out the order of your PDFs in advance before you join them, so that you don't have to re-organize them later!
