FAQ
- How do I control page order when merging?
- Select or arrange files in the order they should appear. The first file becomes the opening section of the merged PDF.
- Can I merge PDFs with different page sizes?
- Yes. Each page keeps its original size. Recipients may see mixed letter/A4 sizes in one file, which is usually fine for portals.
- Is my file uploaded?
- No. Merge runs in your browser.
- What if one source file is password-protected?
- Unlock it first with Unlock PDF, then merge the unlocked copy with the rest of the packet.
- Is there a limit?
- Each file must stay within 25MB and 100 pages. Very large multi-file packets may need compress first.
- Can I remove one section after merging?
- Easiest path: re-merge without that file, or split the merged PDF into groups and rebuild.
How to merge PDFs in the right order
Merging is useful when different people send separate files — cover letters, forms, certificates — and you need one packet. Order matters: most portals read pages top to bottom from a single PDF.
Steps
- Gather every PDF you need in the final packet.
- Select files in the order they should appear (first selected becomes the first section).
- Merge in your browser, then skim the page thumbnails or open the result once.
- If one section is wrong, re-merge with a corrected selection — faster than editing page-by-page.
When to use it
- Job or school applications that ask for one combined PDF
- Packing invoices, receipts, and cover notes for finance
- Building a reading pack from several handouts
Tips
- Keep each source under the size limit; merge fails if any single file is oversized.
- Rotate or reorder a source file first if its pages are upside-down.
- Name the download clearly (e.g. Application-Packet.pdf) before uploading elsewhere.
