Open Tool →

Step-by-step

  1. Upload one PDF file with at least two pages.
  2. Set seed and optional keep-cover switch.
  3. Shuffle page order and download shuffled PDF output.

Practical tips

  • Use a fixed seed when teammates need the same randomized order.
  • Keep first page fixed for reports with title pages.
  • Record the seed in review notes so output can be regenerated later.

Common issues

  • Files with one page cannot be shuffled meaningfully.
  • Blank seed uses timestamp-derived value and changes every run.

FAQ

Can I get the same random order later?

Yes. Reuse the same seed and keep-cover setting.

Does this edit content inside pages?

No. It only changes page sequence.

Can odd/even pages be shuffled separately?

Current version shuffles one page list. Use split tools first for advanced flow.
