Rotate, move, reverse and interleave pages

Rotate pages or only the view

Command	Effect
In the app: Help ▸ Show me / In the app: Help ▸ Show me on the toolbar	Turns the selected pages (or the current page) and is saved with the file
View ▸ Rotate view left / right	Turns the display only; the file is not changed

You can also press [ or ] with a thumbnail focused. Rotating pages can be undone.

Select the pages in the thumbnails.
Right-click and choose Move up, Move down, Move to start or Move to end.

Or drag the thumbnails to a new position. A command that would change nothing is greyed out.

Note

With a selection, the selected pages swap among their own positions; other pages stay where they are.

Use this when a double-sided document was scanned as two files: one of fronts, one of backs.

Choose Tools ▸ Interleave pages from PDF….
Click Choose PDF… or pick an open document for the other sides.
Tick Second file is in reverse order if the backs were scanned last page first.
Click Interleave.

The result runs page 1 of the first file, page 1 of the second, page 2 of the first, and so on.

Important

If the files have different page counts, the program warns you and adds the leftover pages at the end.
