Merge PDF files
Combine separate PDFs into one ordered document. Arrange the files first, merge them, then verify the section boundaries in the downloaded copy.

Choose the document task you need, open the matching tool, review its options, and keep the original file until you have checked the result. The guides below point you to the right workflow without forcing every PDF task into one editor.
Combine separate PDFs into one ordered document. Arrange the files first, merge them, then verify the section boundaries in the downloaded copy.
Create smaller documents from page ranges when a long PDF needs to be shared or handled in separate parts.
Reduce file size for email, portals, and storage. Compression results vary with scans, images, fonts, and the way the original PDF was created.
Create an editable working document from PDF content. Complex layouts and scanned pages may need review or OCR after conversion.
Create a fixed-format sharing or submission copy from a Word document, then check fonts, page breaks, tables, and headers.
Turn photos, scans, or screenshots into PDF pages and create a document that is easier to print, submit, or archive.
Reorder pages after scanning or merging so the final document follows the sequence you actually need.
Delete blank, duplicate, outdated, or unnecessary pages while preserving the original as a separate source file.
Create a new PDF containing only selected pages when you want to share a section without sending the whole document.
Correct sideways or upside-down pages created by scanning, photographing, or assembling files from mixed sources.
Trim unwanted margins or scanner borders. Cropping is for page framing and should not be treated as secure redaction.
Add visible numbering to reports, assignments, manuals, or merged documents so readers can reference pages more easily.
Recognize text from image-based pages. Proofread names, numbers, and tables because OCR accuracy depends on scan quality and layout.
Create plain text from digital PDF content for notes, searching, or reuse. Page layout and graphics are not preserved in plain text.
Add supported PDF protection controls and use a strong password. Keep an original copy and share passwords through an appropriate channel.
Remove or irreversibly obscure sensitive information before sharing. Verify the final copy cannot reveal hidden text through search or selection.
Add a visible signature for routine forms and documents. Check whether the recipient instead requires a certificate-backed digital signature.
Check supported file-level issues before another workflow. Formal standards such as a required PDF/A profile may need dedicated validation.
