Some old PDF documents, such as papers from the early '80s, have their pages in reverse order. The tools I know about (Acrobat Reader, Mac Preview, etc.) do not allow one to reverse the page order. This is a simple script to reverse the pages of a pdf document. Installation ============ # Download and install pdftk http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ # Download reverse-pdf-pages and add it to your path. # cd to the directory with the pdf you want to reverse # run reverse-pdf.sh FILE.pdf This will create the file FILE-rev.pdf which has the pages reversed.
