One file instead of many
Application portals, e-mail attachments and archives are much easier to handle with a single document. Merging lets you send one PDF that contains, for example, a cover letter, CV and certificates; a contract with all its annexes; or a year of monthly statements.
What is preserved
Merging copies the original pages exactly as they are. Nothing is re-compressed or converted:
- text stays selectable and searchable;
- images keep their original quality;
- page sizes and orientation are unchanged, even if the files use different paper formats.
The size of the merged file is roughly the sum of the originals.
Useful combinations
- Add scanned pages: convert photos with JPG to PDF, then merge the result with your main document.
- Remove pages first: use split PDF to extract the pages you need, then merge them.
- Fix sideways pages: straighten a file with rotate PDF before merging.
- Fit an upload limit: run the final document through compress PDF.
Note: password-protected PDFs cannot be merged. Open the file in a PDF reader, save it without a password and try again.
