To merge, split or move pages, you usually do not have to edit the contents. Choose on the task: a visual page preview, batch processing or additional conversion tool. When signing documents, check that editing invalidates the existing digital signature.

Who is it for?
You can use this to bundle attachments, order scans or make a selection from a larger document. It fits with clear page operations. For OCR, extensive text changes or demonstrably anonymize you need a suitable function or other program.
Getting started
Add the documents, check the page order and save the result as a new file. Keep the original until you have checked the outcome.
Privacy
You can process documents locally without uploading them to a website before merging. Please check document properties and remaining contents before sharing. For a file, a wrongly selected page may contain data that is not intended for the recipient.
Good to know
This does not allow you to rewrite the current text on a page. The program focuses on order pages.
Please note
Cropping a page is not the same as permanently deleting sensitive content. Do not assume that an invisible part is irreparable. Save original documents and check the result, especially for digital signatures or interactive parts that may work differently due to changes.
Advantages
- You can organize and combine pages visually.
- Local processing is useful for confidential files.
- The targeted functions prevent you from needing a large office package for a simple page change.
Things to consider
- You don't edit full text content like in a word processor.
- Cropping is not a reliable editing method.
- Complex forms and signed documents require verification after modification.

Our verdict
PDF Arranger is suitable if you want to merge, split, rotate or reorder pages. You work visually with the page layout. That makes it a targeted choice for a file of multiple PDFs. It is not a word processor for existing PDF-paragraphs; the added value lies in the composition of the document, not in rewriting the content.
Choose PDF Arranger when it comes to the composition of pages, for example order single scans into one file. A text correction within a paragraph requires another processing route. Save the output under a new name and check it in a PDF reader. Thumbnails help to organize, but do not show all the details of forms or small text.
