Move Pages

This REST API provides a move page feature that allows you to manipulate page ordering by moving any page(s) to a new position within a document. For moving page to a new position, it’s needed to specify current and new page numbers along with the path to document in storage. For protected documents, it is also required to provide a password. The table below contains the full list of properties that can be specified while moving document pages.

SDK examples

Using an SDK (API client) is the quickest way for a developer to speed up the development. An SDK takes care of a lot of low-level details of makingRequests and handlingResponses and lets you focus on writing code specific to your particular project. Check out our GitHub repository for a complete list of GroupDocs.Merger Cloud SDKs along with working examples, to get you started in no time. Please check to Get Supported File Formats article to learn how to add an SDK to your project.
