Reorder & Rotate PDF Pages (Power Workflow)

Need to fix the flow of a document and adjust page orientations? Use this workflow to reorder and handle rotations efficiently.

Workflow A: Reorder pages

1. Open the Reorder section: /pdf-toolkit#reorder
   

2. Add your PDF (drag-and-drop or click to choose).
   

3. Enter the final order (e.g., 3,1,2 or 5-7,1-3).
   

4. Run “Reorder Pages,” then download or preview.
   

Workflow B: Handle rotated pages pragmatically

Some PDFs mix portrait and landscape scans. If a page is sideways, use one of these approaches:

• Quick viewer rotate: Many PDF viewers allow rotating a page view, then “Print to PDF” to bake it in.
• Rebuild from images:
  1. Export or extract the affected page(s) as images.
     
  2. Rotate/crop the image as needed using your image tool of choice.
     
  3. Use Images → PDF to rebuild the corrected page(s): /pdf-toolkit#images
     
  4. Merge corrected pages back into the document: /pdf-toolkit#merge
     

Short clip (10–30s):

Tips

• Batch work: Fix rotations for multiple pages in one pass before merging.
• Naming: Keep corrected pages labeled clearly (e.g., page-05-rotated.pdf).
• Preview: Always scan the final output on multiple devices before sending.
