How to merge PDF files into one

Merging is useful when a job application, a claim or a report arrives as separate files and the recipient wants one. The files are joined on your own device, so contracts and ID copies are never uploaded.

Steps

1. 1

   Open Merge PDF

   Go to the Merge PDF tool. You do not need an account.

2. 2

   Add your files

   Drop the PDFs on the box, or tap Browse files and pick them. You can add up to 30 at once.

3. 3

   Put them in order

   Files are joined in the order they appear in the list. Move them until the order is right, and remove any you added by mistake.

4. 4

   Merge and download

   Run the tool, look at the result, then download the single PDF.

Tips

• Rename your files 1, 2, 3 before you add them if you often merge the same set. The list is then already in order.
• If the merged file is too large to email, run it through Compress PDF afterwards.
• To merge only some pages of a file, take those pages out first with Extract PDF pages.

Questions

Will the pages change size when merged?

No. Pages keep their original size and orientation, so a landscape page stays landscape.

Can I merge a password protected PDF?

Open it with the password and save an unprotected copy first, then merge that copy.
