About PDF Page Organization Tool
PDF Page Organization enables drag-and-drop reordering of pages within multi-page documents to create customized reading sequences. Using pdf.js for thumbnail rendering and pdf-lib for page reassembly, the tool provides visual page identification and intuitive reorganization without quality loss. All processing occurs client-side in browser without document uploads, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive documents requiring restructuring.
This utility serves professionals correcting scan sequence errors, presenters customizing deck flow for specific audiences, legal teams reordering exhibits, and document managers assembling reports from mixed sources. Whether fixing accidentally reversed scans, moving executive summaries to front positions, or creating custom document variants, the tool delivers instant reorganized PDFs without Adobe Acrobat subscriptions or PDF editor licenses.
