Select PDF files
Drag and drop the PDF files you want to mix or click Add to add files. Tell PDFsam Basic to take pages in reverse order by selecting Reverse and set how many pages PDFsam Basic should take from one file before it switches to the next one by changing the value in the Pace column.

Pages can be specified in the form of comma separated page ranges like 2-13,17 if you want pages from 2 to 13 and page 17. You can use the syntax 20- if you want pages from page 20 to the end of the file.
