I need to merge two PDF files and rearrange several pages. So far using acrobat its more of a hassle to arrange things with a preview. I guess i can keep using but i didn't know if there was a program that let me have a broader view of the pages and switch them around.

Acrobat has to the be the most and annoying program in existence. If never fails to slow things down, or crash the browser, and generally be a pain with updates.

What program did you use? I would've just used Acrobat's "Create PDF from Multiple Files" or whatever but like you said, its kind of a hassle

I used Nitro PDF Pro (http://www.nitropdf.com/professional/support/manual/reorder_pdf_pages.htm)

Not only did I have to merge two or more documents, I had to take the merged document and reorder the damn thing completely.

It has a thumbnail pane that you can scale around and gives an outline of your PDF in the thumbnail. I can click, drag, crop, etc while visually seeing what I am doing to the entire document.

Acrobat reorders pages easily:

View -> Navigation Panels -> Pages, or just click the paper icon on the left column. Drag the thumbnails to reorder the pages as you wish.
