Reordering PDF pages: what you should know
Pages end up in the wrong order all the time: a scanner feeds the stack backwards, a chapter is exported twice, or an appendix belongs at the front. ToolCMB lets you drag every page to its place and saves a new PDF in exactly that order.
Double-sided documents scanned on a single-sided scanner are a classic problem: first all front sides, then all back sides — often in reverse. Collate scan puts them back in the right sequence with one click.
Everything runs inside your browser. Your document is never uploaded, and because pages are copied instead of re-rendered, the result looks exactly like the original: text remains searchable, bookmarks and links point to the right pages at their new positions.

Tips
- Use the thumbnail size buttons above the pages: small for long documents, large to read details.
- Inserting blank pages helps when a chapter should start on a right-hand page in double-sided printing.
- Need pages from several PDFs in one file? Combine them first with the PDF Merger.
- Only want to turn pages? The PDF Page Rotator can batch-rotate many files.
