Hi Pamela,

You can re-order the pages in a PDF via the Thumbnail pane in Acrobat (Standard or Pro).  Simply open this from the left-hand side, then drag-and-drop individual pages or selections of pages as you desire.

Adobe Reader does not have this ability.

Thanks for the help. I can't seem to replicate the issue anymore, but if it happens again, I'll try following your advice.

I thought this would be the way to do this, but it doesn't work for me. I drag a thumbnail to a new position, then the Mac "thinking" wheel spins for a second, but nothing happens.

I'm running Acrobat 11.0.07 on Mac 10.9.4

Strange. You can extract all the pages as single files (Tools - Pages -

Extract) and then combine then in the order you wish as a new file (File -

Create - Combine files into a single PDF).


had the same issue ..

you have to drag the page with the non visible area

then it's possible to drag the page

.. else you just drag the visible area
