Here's how you can reorder pages in a PDF document created with Adobe Scan using Acrobat online services:
Reordering Pages Online with Adobe
Adobe provides online tools that allow you to easily modify your PDF documents, including rearranging pages. This is a common way to adjust the order of pages after scanning them with the Adobe Scan app.
Follow these simple steps using the Acrobat online reorder pages tool:
- Navigate to the Acrobat online services reorder PDF pages tool. Open any web browser on your computer or mobile device.
- Upload your PDF. Locate the PDF file you want to reorder (likely saved from your Adobe Scan export) and upload it to the online tool. You can usually do this by clicking a button or dragging and dropping the file into the designated area.
- Select the page thumbnails you want to reorder. The online tool will display small previews (thumbnails) of each page in your document. Click on the pages you wish to move.
- Drag and drop them to the desired order. Click and hold a selected page thumbnail, then drag it to the new position you want within the document. Release the mouse button or your finger to drop the page there. You can repeat this for multiple pages until the order is correct.
- Save your reordered PDF file. Once you are satisfied with the new page order, the tool will usually provide an option to download your updated PDF.
