How does Organise with thumbnails work on MakeOverPDF?

See every page as a thumbnail and drag them into shape. MakeOverPDF runs poppler pdftoppm + qpdf on the server and returns: One PDF, downloaded immediately.

Is Organise with thumbnails free and private to use?

Yes. MakeOverPDF requires no user account, watermarks nothing unless you use the watermark tool, and deletes your uploaded document from the private working directory as soon as the request finishes.

What are the file size and page limits for Organise with thumbnails?

The preview renders every page once as a picture, and the pictures live for an hour whether or not you finish arranging. Nothing is kept after that, and the pages are only ever served back to whoever holds the preview's unguessable token. The preview shows at most 200 pages at a time; a longer document is arranged with the page list instead, which is the same engine call without the pictures. Thumbnails are rendered at 36 dots per inch — enough to recognise a page, small enough that a two-hundred-page document previews in a moment. Without JavaScript the page list below the grid is the whole tool: type the order as numbers separated by commas, for example 3, 1, 2. It is the same parse and the same engine call the reorder tool uses. Every page is kept: this reorders, it does not remove, and the result is verified page for page before it is offered.
