Objective, Primary [Text Block] rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock
The Pacer S&P 500 Quality FCF Aristocrats ETF (the “Fund”) is an exchange traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P 500 Quality FCF Aristocrats Index (the “Index”).

Expense Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock
The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund (“Shares”). You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Example below.

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund is newly organized, portfolio turnover information is not yet available.

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock The following example is intended to help retail investors compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. It illustrates the hypothetical expenses that such investors would incur over various periods if they were to invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of the Shares at the end of those periods. This example assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
The Fund employs a “passive management” (or indexing) investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index.
The Index
S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which measures the performance of companies within the S&P 500 Index® (the “S&P 500”) that have had positive free cash flow (FCF) for at least 10 consecutive years and simultaneously have high FCF margin and high FCF return on invested capital (ROIC).
The initial Index universe is derived from the component companies of the S&P 500. The S&P 500 is comprised of common stocks of approximately 500 large-capitalization companies that generally represent the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market.
Free Cash Flow (FCF): net cash flow from operating activities minus capital expenditures
FCF Margin: FCF / revenue
FCF ROIC: FCF / (total debt plus total equity)
The initial universe of companies is screened based on a company’s free cash flow (FCF). To be included in the Index, a company must have had positive FCF for the at least 10 consecutive years. Companies classified as being in the real estate sector and companies classified as being in certain industries within the financials sector (e.g., banks, investment banking & brokerage, insurance) are excluded from the Index universe.
The remaining companies are then ranked by their FCF Score. A company’s FCF Score is computed using its five-year average of FCF Margin and its five-year average of FCF ROIC. The equity securities of the 100 companies with the highest FCF Scores are included in the Index.
The component securities are weighted by the product of their float-adjusted market capitalization and their FCF Score. The maximum weight of each component is capped at 5% and each component’s weight is floored at 0.05%. The maximum weight of any given sector is 40%. Weight above the individual security and sector limitations are typically redistributed among the other Index constituents in proportion to their weights. As of January 31, 2025, the companies included in the Index had a market capitalization of $8.32 billion to $3.55 trillion. As of January 31, 2025, the Index had significant exposure to the Information Technology sector. The Index is typically reconstituted and rebalanced semi-annually as of the close of business on the third Friday of April and October based on data as of the last business days of March and September, respectively.
The Fund’s Investment Strategy
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in equity securities that are the component securities of the Index. The Fund defines “equity securities” to mean common stocks, and may include preferred stocks, rights, warrants, and depositary receipts. The Adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.
The Fund will generally use a “replication” strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it will invest in all of the component securities of the Index in the same approximate proportion as in the Index.
The Fund is non-diversified and therefore may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a single company than diversified funds.
To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As of January 31, 2025, the Index was not concentrated in any industry or group of industries.

Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Calculation Methodology Risk. The Index relies directly or indirectly on various sources of information to assess the criteria of issuers included in the Index, including information that may be based on assumptions and estimates. Neither the Fund, the Index Provider, or the Adviser can offer assurances that the Index’s calculation methodology or sources of information will provide an accurate assessment of included components or a correct valuation of securities, nor can they guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.
Pacer S&P 500 Quality FCF Aristocrats ETF | Concentration Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items] rr_ProspectusLineItems  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Concentration Risk. If the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries, the Fund’s investments may be concentrated accordingly. In such event, the value of the Fund’s shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries. In addition, at times, an industry or group of industries in which the Fund is concentrated may be out of favor and underperform other industries or groups of industries.
Pacer S&P 500 Quality FCF Aristocrats ETF | Equity Market Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items] rr_ProspectusLineItems  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. The Fund’s NAV and market price may fluctuate significantly in response to these and other factors. As a result, an investor could lose money over short or long periods of time.

Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, is exposed to the following risks:
◦Authorized Participants (“APs”), Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, shares of the Fund may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.
◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares of the Fund. Due to the costs of buying or selling shares of the Fund, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of shares of the Fund may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in shares of the Fund may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.
◦Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, shares of the Fund may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The price of shares of the Fund, like the price of all traded securities, will be subject to factors such as supply and demand, as well as the current value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the Fund will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. Because securities held by the Fund trade on foreign exchanges that are closed when the Fund’s primary listing exchange is open, the Fund is likely to experience premiums and discounts greater than those of domestic ETFs.
◦Trading. Although shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, such as Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that shares of the Fund will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of shares of the Fund may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than shares of the Fund, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the shares of the Fund and the underlying value of those shares.

Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Index Provider Risk. There is no assurance that an Index provider or any agents that act on its behalf, will compile the Index accurately, or that the Index will be determined, maintained, constructed, rebalanced, calculated or disseminated accurately. The Fund relies upon the Index provider and its agents to compile, determine, maintain, construct, rebalance, calculate (or arrange for an agent to calculate), and disseminate the Index accurately. Any losses or costs associated with errors made by the Index Provider or its agents generally will be borne by the Fund and its shareholders.

Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The Fund may invest in the securities of large-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be adversely affected if securities of large-capitalization companies underperform securities of smaller-capitalization companies or the market as a whole. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.
Pacer S&P 500 Quality FCF Aristocrats ETF | New Fund Risk Member

Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock New Fund Risk. The Fund is new with no operating history. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case it may experience greater tracking error to its Index than it otherwise would at higher asset levels, or it could ultimately liquidate. The Fund’s distributor does not maintain a secondary market in Fund shares.
Pacer S&P 500 Quality FCF Aristocrats ETF | Risk Nondiversified Status [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items] rr_ProspectusLineItems  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Non-Diversification Risk. Although the Fund intends to invest in a variety of securities and instruments, the Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. As a result, the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that invests more widely. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.
Pacer S&P 500 Quality FCF Aristocrats ETF | Passive Investment Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items] rr_ProspectusLineItems  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser would not sell a security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Index in accordance with the Index methodology. The Fund invests in securities included in the Index, regardless of their investment merits. The Fund does not take defensive positions under any market conditions, including conditions that are adverse to the performance of the Fund.

Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.
◦Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund may invest in companies in the information technology sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. Market or economic factors impacting information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market.
Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability.
