How do I reverse page order in Preview?

Is there a way to reverse the page order when viewing a pdf in Preview. It opens with the last page first, I assume to accommodate printing. But it's a hassle when it comes to viewing onscreen. Preferences doesn't seem to offer the option to reverse this. What am I missing?
I'm using Yosemite 10.10.1
Thanks,
Jim

Reader is uncapable of creating new PDF files, nor edit existing ones in this way, so the problem is definitely not with it. Probably with the way Word creates the PDF file.

Reverse page order of PDF

Hi,
I need to reverse page order of a PDF file. I tried Preview and Automator but couldn't find right option.
Printer driver has a reverse order option but when I did Save As PDF, it doesn't seem to work.
I tried a utility called Moonwalk but it does not run on my system with no reason.
Any solution? I prefer Automator action but any idea will be welcome.
What I'm doing is scanning documents. My scanner has ADF but does not duplex scanning. Thankfully, Automator make it possible to combine odd and even pages but the even pages should be reversed before scanning. If there is an Automator action for it, it will be great.

I agree the tone was too sarcastic and perhaps below the belt - so my apologies.
It is so very frustrating to have to wade through pages of superfluous, and in many cases inane, chatter that getting to the heart of the matter is impossible.
As a case in point, we can't even PM each other which is why I have to add this post to a public thread - making the problem worse.
And really, the problem isn't people here, or even in OS X. The problem is Apple.
Apple have for some time become so cavalier and imperious to a such a degree that it grates when we are left to fend for ourselves in this manner. Of course they have always had a touch of the blue-stocking but it beggars belief that they are set to go the way of IBM, Microsoft and Nokia - these org's that have forgotten to treat the hand that feeds it with the respect it deserves. It may be that nobody is sticking up for Apple but adding red-herrings here is only making matters harder.
Let's face it, it's just so self-defeating that anything supposedly this good, ought take this level of involvement, just to do the blindly obvious. You'd expect this from things like Linux, Openoffice etc. where the effort relies mainly on volunteers (in their spare time to a large degree). But with the amount of dosh Apple sit on - and continue to take - it seems only too clear where this is going to end and no amount of the 'cool factor' is going to change that.
Something's gotta give - wish this stuff would work - just so fed up! :-(
P.S. Hate to say this but I fixed this problem for myself using Win Vista & pdfforge (see http://www.pdfforge.org/)

How do I reverse the order in which files appear in Icon View option?

I took a lot of pictures on a trip recently, which I have uploaded to a folder in Finder. When I click on View Options and then Keep Arranged by Date Created, they get rearranged so that the most recent appears at the top, and the first ones taken are at the bottom. How can I reverse this order, so that they appear in chronological order?
Thanks,
Richard

There might be another way.
There are utilities which can batch-rename files, including options that sort by date, begin all the resulting filenames with a common prefix, and then add a sequential "padded" filename suffix. If you then display the resulting collection of files in alphabetical order (as in Finder's Arrange by Name in icon view), they should be sorted chronologically.
I haven't tried any of these, but the site for [A Better Finder Rename|http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html], shareware, states:
"A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF shooting date and time information from digital camera images and exploit them in creating sequence numbers or adding time and date information to the file name. "
There may be suitable freeware alternatives -search for *file renamer* in [Version Tracker|http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx>.

How do I reverse the order of photos/years in osx

You can't at this time. Send a feature request to Apple. You can use this feedback form:

How can I reverse the order of podcasts so I can listen in cronological order

How can I reverse the order of podcasts so I can listen in cronological order!

What I did was create a playlist for the podcasts and keep it sorted in reverse date order, which puts the oldest first. To prevent it from automatically playing the next podcast, I actually mark all podcasts as "skip when shuffling", and then play in shuffle mode. I also make sure all my podcasts have a genre of "podcast"; I discovered that if you use media type, the playlist doesn't update correctly on the iPod classic
So, what I've got is a playlist of the form: (play count = 0) and (genre = podcast), sorted in reverse date order.

Reverse page order in pdf?

Is there a easy / cheap tool or method to reverse the page order for a multi-page .pdf document?
I think something like Adobe Writer might do it, but I don't need to do this very often, and was hoping to find a cheaper way, or shareware product...
I can manually rearrange the pages in something like PDFLab, but this can be time-consuming for larger documents...
My printer lets me print in reverse page order, but I can't seem to make it print to .pdf in reverse order?
Any ideas!?
Thanks!
Mark

You can use this Action to reverse it back:

Using Acrobat 9.5.5, I scanned a catalog in several segments, to merge later. How do I reverse the order of pages of the back side (odd) pages, and can I renumber each set as even numbers only and odd numbers only?

I scanned a catalog for my archive - double sided pages of course.
It was easy enough to scan the front pages first (odd numbers, 1-3-5) , in several sets of 30 pages, therefore several separate pdfs.
Then I scanned the back side (even numbers 2-4-6) pages but in their natural reverse order, rather than manually reordering all 300 pages.
Now I need to reorder the even pages which are naturally in reverse page number order (300-298-296...)
and I need to renumber all of the pages as only odd or even numbers - set 1: pages 1-3-5-7... Set 2: 2-4-6-8...
Then I can merge everything into one pdf.
How can I reverse the page order?
How can I renumber pages as only even or only odd numbers?
Anyone have these solutions? I don't use much of acrobats features, but it seems to be a pretty basic demand to be included. I can't find any clue in the software menus or online help.

You can do such ordering with JavaScript. There is a recent post with a JavaScript for dealing with another aspect of page order that might provide what you want. You will have to search the forum for the post that was about 2 or 3 weeks ago as I recall.

How to Reverse Page Order in Acrobat Pro 9

Hello Community,
I thought this would be an easy thing to do in Acrobat but so far I am finding it is not.
I am creating a PDF from multiple files, they are jpegs, and I am dragging and dropping them into the "combine files" window in the order I want them to be displayed. However Acrobat reverses this order as you put them in and then gives you no chance to switch the order. It gives you the option to move the order one by one (which is nearly impossible when the jpeg titles are img1824, img1623, etc.) so they other option is to add the files I want backwards, which my brain can not do, I like to work forwards, not backwards nor should I have to.
So once I create this backwards PDF, isn't there a way to just reverse the order of the pages? any help is appreciated.
e~

Wow GQDiaz,
What a wonderful gift you have given us! You have saved me hours of shuffling pages one by one between large cumbersome document scans.
Your script works like a dream. Thank you for this gift.

How do I reverse the order of file lists in finder?

When I display a finder page with icons the sort is ascending (A-Z), but when I use the list function it is decending (Z-A). How do I reverse the list order?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and don't speak for "Apple, Inc."
In Finder icon view, click the Arrange button and select which column you'd like to sort by.
In Finder list view, click the top header of any column to sort by that column. Clicking the same header again reverses the sort order (and the small 'arrow' at the end of the column name reverses direction too).
And using Finder, View, Customize Toolbar the Finder window toolbar can be customized to display icons only, text only or both, as well as adding additional icons to the default toolbar:

Reverses page order from Word to PDF

When I create a PDF from an existing Word document it scans the pages in reverse order so that i see the second page first. How do i fix this? I have Acrobate 9 Standard and Word 2000. Any help will be much appreciated.

In Word under Tools > Options > Print tab, make sure that "Reverse Print Order" is not checked.

Reversing page order displayed

Is there a way to reverse the page order of a document without using the thumbnails to drag and position one at a time or having to rescan the documents? For example, I have a 200 page scanned image document. Its a correspondence file with the most recent letters on top. I want to display the oldest letters on top with the most recent at the bottom. I'm using acrobat 5.05 full version. Thanks much

Ok, that wroked great. But one question, when I saved it using a different file name, the new file size was smaller. 171 kb before the page order change, 140 after the change. How come? Will the resolution be lower when it prints after the page order change?
Also, I was able to reverse the page order using "print to distiller", but the file size went form 171kb to 58kb. How come?
thanks much

How do you change page order in new Pages???

Old pages was nice and simple in this regard - highlight a page and move it up or down the thumbnail viewer to change the page order.
Now it doesn't do that.
AGH!!
Or am I missing something?

No, you're not missing anything. It's just one of the many, many features that have been eliminated or changed. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu.
If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09. You can continue to use them to get things done.
If you want to do this in Pages 5 you'll have to select all of the content you want to move, cut & then paste into the new locations.

How do I change page order on a document created in Pages 5.1?

After reading some of the posts about the lack of ability to change page order in Pages 5.1, I decided to re-install Pages 09 from the DVD that came with my computer because some posts said it was a better program. After inserting the disc and responding to all the prompts it seemed to download everything but I can't find Pages 09, I only seem to have 5.1.
I will take a solution to either problem, but all I really want to do is change the order of 2 pages on a 9 page document created using 5.1.

It is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Make sure you update it to the latest v4.3:
