Reorder PDF pages on iPhone

iPhone PDF reordering done right — touch-friendly thumbnails in Safari, no app required.

You're on the train. Email arrives with a PDF that needs page 7 swapped with page 8 before you forward it. You don't have your laptop and you really don't want to install yet another iOS PDF app.

Safari plus Flint is the answer. Touch-friendly reordering, no install.

Open Flint in mobile Safari

Open reorder PDF in Safari (or Chrome, or any mobile browser). The page loads as a mobile-optimised layout — thumbnails sized for finger taps, controls big enough to hit.

Touch-drag the pages

Tap and hold a thumbnail for half a second until it lifts. Drag with your finger to the new position. Drop. The grid updates. Same drag pattern as desktop, just with touch instead of mouse.

Save back to Files

Tap save. The reordered PDF downloads. iOS shows the standard download options — open in Files, share via email, AirDrop, save to iCloud Drive. Pick wherever makes sense for your workflow.

When iPhone is the right tool

Quick fixes on the go. One- or two-page reorders. Reviewing and adjusting a document someone just sent you. For 100-page massive reorganisations, get to a laptop — touch dragging that many pages is exhausting. Flint works for both; it just won't make a hard task easy.
