Papyx

Reorder, rotate and delete pages

Papyx shows every page of the document as a thumbnail and lets you handle them directly: drag to reorder, rotate the ones that came in sideways, delete the ones that should not be there.

Nothing is applied blind. You see the document as it will be before you save it, and until you save, nothing on disk has been touched.

Reorder the pages of a PDF, by dragging

  1. Open the document

    Pages are rendered as thumbnails, in file order.

  2. Reorder

    Drag a thumbnail to its new place; its neighbours move aside.

  3. Rotate and delete

    Turn the pages scanned the wrong way up, drop the blank ones.

  4. Save

    The PDF is rewritten in the new order, with its content neither rendered nor recompressed.

Worth knowing

  • Thumbnails of the whole document

    Pages are drawn on screen by pdf.js, so you handle what you see.

  • Real drag and drop

    Moving a page follows the cursor rather than asking for an index.

  • Per-page rotation

    Each page turns on its own — which is what a batch scanned both ways needs.

  • Non-destructive

    Saving copies the original pages into the new order: no rendering, no recompression.

Limits

  • Organize works on one document at a time; to bring several files together, merge them first.

  • A password-protected PDF cannot be rewritten by this tool.

Questions about “Organize”

Can I rotate a single page?

Yes. Rotation applies page by page, which is what a batch scanned in both orientations needs.

Does deleting pages degrade the rest?

No. The pages you keep are copied across as they are; only the list of them changes.

Can I reorganize several PDFs at once?

Merge them first, then organize the result — the output of one tool can feed the next without a round trip through the disk.
