Tips for Merging PDFs

  • Page order matters — check the order before merging, as rearranging after requires splitting and re-merging
  • File size — the merged PDF size is roughly the sum of all input files. Compress if needed after merging.
  • Password-protected PDFs — remove passwords before merging (most PDF editors can do this)
  • Orientation — portrait and landscape pages can be mixed in a single PDF

Common Use Cases

  • Job applications — merge CV, cover letter, and certificates into one file
  • Invoicing — combine monthly invoices into a single PDF for accounting
