Questions
How do I combine PDF files into one?
Choose your PDFs, drag them into order, then click Merge PDFs and Download. The files are combined on your device, not uploaded.
Can I rearrange individual pages while merging PDFs?
Yes. Drag the page previews or select a group and use Move to page. You can also open the saved result in Organize PDF to make more changes.
What happens to filled forms and signatures?
A file with interactive forms may need its filled values made part of the page before merging. Read the warning before continuing. Editing a digitally signed PDF changes the signed document, so keep the original for signature verification.
Will my merged PDF keep its bookmarks?
Enable Keep bookmarks to retain supported entries for included pages and their groups. Links to omitted pages are dropped.
Can I add a bookmark for each document?
Yes. Enable Add a bookmark for each file to give each source document a navigation entry in the merged PDF.
