How to use Organize PDF
- 1
Open one PDF, or several at once. Every page appears as a card; with more than one file, cards are labelled A1, A2, B1…
- 2
Drag cards into the order you want, or move them one step with the arrow buttons.
- 3
Turn a card with the rotate buttons, remove it with the bin, or press the page-plus button to put a blank page after it.
- 4
Press "Save PDF". The new document follows your board from left to right, top to bottom.
What this tool does
Organize PDF is a page board. Drop in one or more PDFs and every page becomes a card you can move, turn or throw away. You can also add empty pages, for example to start a chapter on a right-hand page or to leave room for notes. When the order looks right, it saves everything as a single new PDF.
Features
- Pages from several files on one board, labelled by file letter and page number.
- Drag and drop, plus arrow buttons for keyboard and touch use.
- Rotate single pages in 90° steps.
- Insert blank pages after any card, sized to match it.
- Remove pages you don't need.
- The first file stays the base, so its metadata and bookmarks are kept for the pages that remain.
Limits
- Very long documents show thumbnails gradually; you can start arranging before they're all drawn.
- Bookmarks and form fields are only kept from the first file.
- Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked first.
Where your file is processed
This tool works in your browser: your PDF is processed on your own device, so it isn't sent to our server for this tool. Some other tools on UtiloNest do use our server, and their pages say so.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Merge PDF?
Merge PDF joins whole files one after another. Here you work page by page, so you can slot page 3 of one file between pages 1 and 2 of another, leave pages out and add blank ones.
What size is a blank page?
It takes the size of the card it follows, so a blank page in an A4 portrait document is A4 portrait. "Add a blank page at the end" copies the last card.
Which file's details does the result keep?
The first PDF in the list is the base. Its title, author and bookmarks stay, and pages from the other files are copied into it. Bookmarks from the other files aren't carried over.
Why does a file show an error?
Password-protected and damaged PDFs can't be opened here. Unlock the file with Unlock PDF or try Repair PDF first, then add it again.
