You may be able to get away with reusing the pads, but it isn't a good practice. I would look at them and make sure there were no contaminants on the friction surface. Then, if I reused them, I would test them to see how the pedal felt, and if the vehicle stopped straight once the pads were bedded in. Any hint of any problem, and I would throw them out. And because of that possibility, and not wanting to do brake jobs multiple times, I would probably just change them when I installed the rotors.
