Keep the pages you need, in the order you type, or split the PDF into parts.
Last updated
Add one unlocked PDF from Files. Type the pages you want, or tap and drag to select them. The order you type is the order FileSway exports. One PDF is one input. There is no account.
Open FileSway and add the unlocked PDF from Files.
Type page numbers or ranges, such as 5, 1, 3-7. Pages export in that order. You can also tap and drag to select.
Use select all or deselect all when you need them. Deselected pages stay visible in the list.
Switch to Arrange and reorder with the handles when you want to drag.
Save to Files, share, or export. Your original stays unchanged.
Good to know
Two controls set the order. Typing 5, 1, 3 exports Page 5, then Page 1, then Page 3. Arrange mode uses handles when you want to drag. Deselected pages stay in the list and are left out of the export. To join separate PDFs first, use Merge PDFs. FileSway shows what is included in Free and Pro before you convert.
Deleting pages works by exporting only the pages you keep. Deselect the ones you do not want, or type only the numbers to keep. Select all and deselect all are on the same screen. Deselected pages stay visible so you can check the list. The original PDF stays unchanged.
Prepare the PDF for a size cap of 10, 15, 25, 35 or 50 MB, or a custom size. If one file cannot fit, FileSway can split it into numbered parts and keep page order. A multi-page PDF can still produce more than one result file on the free plan. Compress a PDF.
Compressing or splitting can affect forms, links and signatures. Preview the original against the finished pages before you send. FileSway does not promise a destination will accept the file.
This is the same 18-page sample as on the FileSway home page. It runs in your browser and does not open your files. Type a list such as 5, 1, 3-7. The order you type is the output order on the Pages screen.
The Files app can open a PDF so you can read it and share the file you already have. Some recent iOS versions also list page tools, and those controls are not the same on every version. Apple may move these menus.
Open the PDF in the Files app.
Use the page tools that version lists, if you only need a small change.
Share or save the file from there. There is no field for a size cap.

No. FileSway exports a new file and leaves the original unchanged. Deleting a page here means leaving it out of that export.
