Open PDF page organization

Define the target order

Download the four-page example. The original order is A → B → C → D, with each page about 105 × 148.5 millimeters. The target is C → A, with C rotated 90° clockwise from its original orientation.

Upload and click “Generate page thumbnails”. Cards show both current position and original page number. Original numbers remain unchanged after reordering so you can verify the result.

Perform three operations

Move original page 3 forward twice, or drag it before the first card. Click its “Rotate 90°” button and watch the preview change.

Delete original pages 2 and 4. The display should say “Keeping 2 / 4 pages”, with original page 3 followed by original page 1. To recover an accidental deletion, use “Restore original order and pages”; this also undoes reordering and rotation.

Check each downloaded page

Export and download the new PDF. It should contain two pages: ZONE C in landscape, followed by ZONE A in portrait. The first page is about 148.5 × 105 millimeters and the second about 105 × 148.5 millimeters.

The sample input is 6026 bytes and output is 2154 bytes. The size change comes from page selection and file rewriting, not image compression by this tool. Other sources and software versions may produce different sizes.

Check additional features in formal documents

This feature retains selected pages and regenerates the document. It does not automatically transfer document-level bookmarks or attachments, and digital signatures may become invalid. Before formal submission, check links, annotations, forms and other original features.

Deleting whole pages and rotating are not secure redaction, and cropping the visible region does not guarantee removal of hidden content. This tool is not suitable for preparing a securely redacted public document. Use a dedicated redaction workflow and verify it.

Download the input and actual outputs

All files are synthetic examples created by this site without real business information. Download them to repeat the operations.

Example tested on 2026-09-26. PDFs used the site API (pypdf 6.19.0 / PyMuPDF 1.28.2); images used Canvas encoding in Chromium 153. Other browsers or versions may produce different file sizes.
