How to merge several documents into one PDF
Putting a case file together usually means bundling the contract, the annexes and a few scans into one document. This guide shows the fastest way to do it and what to check before you send it out.
To merge several documents into one PDF, open the merge tool, drag in all your files, put them in order and download the result. In PDFix Pro everything happens inside your browser, so your documents are never uploaded to a server and the final PDF carries no watermark.
Step by step
- 1
Gather the files you want to combine
Check that they are all PDFs and that none of them is password protected. If a document asks for a password to open, remove it first in the program you created it with.
- 2
Drag them into the merge tool
You can drop several files at once. Each one appears in the list with its name so you know exactly what will be included.
- 3
Set the final order
The order of the list is the order of the pages in the resulting PDF. Put the main document first and the annexes after it.
- 4
Merge and check the result
Download the file and open it to confirm that no page is missing and that the annexes ended up where you expected.
- Rename the files with a leading number (01, 02, 03) so the order is obvious before you drag them in.
- If the final PDF is too heavy to email, run it through the compress tool afterwards.
- To remove a stray page that slipped in, use the split tool on the merged file.
Frequently asked questions
How many documents can I merge at once?
There is no fixed limit: it depends on your device's memory, because the whole process runs in your browser and not on a server.
Can I merge a PDF with a Word document?
Convert the Word file to PDF first and then merge the two files. Both tools are part of the suite.
Does the final file have a watermark?
No. The merged PDF downloads clean, with no stamps or added marks.
