What is PDF Arranger?
PDF Arranger works with PDF pages in a thumbnail workspace. Open one document or import several, drag pages into the order you need, remove unwanted pages and save the combined result. Export selected pages when you need a separate document rather than another copy of the whole file. It is a useful fit for assembling documents from existing PDFs or separating a long document into smaller files.
Page operations include rotation in 90-degree steps, margin cropping, resizing, blank-page insertion and booklet generation. The publisher's manual also documents undo and redo, text search, metadata editing and image export. These are documented capabilities, not results of an installation or hands-on test for this entry.
Bookmarks and links need particular care. The manual describes preservation options, but warns that operations such as merging pages, hiding margins, generating or splitting booklets, and applying an overlay or underlay lose document properties. Changing the size of a page containing links also causes loss. Preserve an original copy when those properties matter.
The linked Windows package is the publisher's 1.14.0 MSI installer, not its separate portable ZIP. The screenshot is the project's published GTK desktop illustration; it demonstrates the page workspace, not a verified Windows 1.14.0 installation. The sources inspected here do not establish a minimum supported Windows version for this installer.
