Questions about Reorder PDF
Can I remove or duplicate a page while reordering a PDF?
No. Reorder requires every source page exactly once. Use Split PDF to extract a subset. For a three-page PDF, 3,1,2 moves the last page to the beginning.
Why must every PDF page appear once?
The engine validates a complete permutation so a reorder cannot silently drop or duplicate a page. Use Split PDF when you need a subset instead.
Which real-world check matters before I share this PDF file?
Open the downloaded result in the application that will receive it and check the behavior described in the limits: Every source page must appear exactly once. Forms, annotations and document bookmarks are not retained.
