Merge PDF

Combine separate PDFs into one document for a submission, reading pack or archive. The order you choose becomes the order of the final pages.

How to: step-by-step

  1. Select two or more PDFs.
  2. Arrange the files in the required reading order. Check which document should come first.
  3. Run Merge PDF and wait for the combined file.
  4. Download it and inspect the joins between documents, page count and orientation.

Tips for better results

  • Give source files numbered names before selecting a large batch.
  • Keep the originals until you have checked the combined PDF.

Common pitfalls

  • Merging does not automatically remove duplicate pages.
  • Mixed page sizes remain mixed; use Resize PDF if you need uniform sheets.

Worked example

Example: combine a 2-page cover letter and a 5-page report. Put the cover letter first and expect 7 pages. Check pages 2 and 3 to confirm the documents meet in the intended order.

Before you finish

Check bookmarks, forms and document-level features after merging. Do not assume every feature from each source will carry over.
