How to merge PDF files
- Drop your PDFs into the box or choose them. Add as many as you need.
- Check the first page of each file in the list, and drag the files into the order you want. To take only some pages from a file, type them in its Pages box, such as 1-3, 5.
- Click Merge PDFs to download one combined file.
Common reasons to merge PDFs
- Sending one file instead of several, such as a job application with a CV, cover letter and certificates.
- Combining scanned pages that were saved as separate files.
- Putting monthly statements or invoices together for an accountant.
- Building a single handout from slides, notes and worksheets.
Tips
Name your files with numbers first (01-cover.pdf, 02-report.pdf) and they’ll usually arrive in the right order, so there’s less dragging. If the merged file is too big to email, scanned pages are usually the cause: scanning at 150 to 200 dpi instead of 600 dpi makes files several times smaller.
