Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: PDF Arranger is widely praised as a lightweight, free, open-source tool for visually rearranging, merging, splitting, rotating, cropping, extracting, and replacing PDF pages. Users value its intuitive interface, portability, offline operation, and lack of bloatware or page limits. It is especially effective for scanned documents and simple editing, though it lacks advanced editing capabilities and may not preserve tables of contents or internal links after rearranging pages.

PDF arranger is the best free software for visually sorting pages in a PDF (in 2020).

Apart from sorting it can split pages in the middle. This is useful if you have scanned two facing pages.

This splitting of pages in the middle is indeed a nice feature.

I thought that only free online PDF editing apps were left, but when I came across PDF Arranger, I regained my faith in the ability to process documents locally, on our own computer. No cloud, no internet — just us and our data.

OCRmyPDF is also a great addition to scanning documents.

It does exactly everything I need. Merge, rotate, rearrange. No noise, no bullshit.

PDF Arranger is perfect for rearranging/sorting pages (in a visual and intuitive way), and it can also merge, rotate and crop pages at the edges.

Of course, it is not as powerful as commercial PDF software like PDFsam, Sejda or Master PDF Editor, but it works flawlessly, and I never had problems with this nice PDF editor.
