Are you trying to merge PDF files? The Merge PDF tool is popular for its common uses in business, education, e-learning, and beyond. Plus, it's accessible across any device as you can access it on the Desktop and Mobile Apps, Web, and REST API

Long gone are the days of having to print out individual PDF documents onto paper, re-order them and then scan them all together so that they are available as one single PDF. An online PDF Merger allows you to combine multiple PDF files in any order you want for easy viewing and sharing.

When do we use a Merge PDF tool?

The Merge PDF tool has countless uses. For example:

  • Imagine you need to share loads of PDF files with another department at work. The last thing you want to do is bombard them with so many different files that they get confused, annoyed and loose track of one or two files in the process. It would be much easier to combine all of the PDF files into one single file for simple sharing. Well that´'s what a PDF Merger is for.
  • Let's say you are a university student working on a group assignment with friends. After everyone has individually completed their part of the work, they send their PDFs back to you. In order to submit the final piece of work, you need to find a way of combining all of their PDF files together into one. The solution? The Merge PDF tool.
  • It's great for solo projects too. For example, you could be making your own portfolio for a job application with multiple sections which involved using different file formats such as Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, JPG images and PowerPoint. How can you then put them all into one, presentable PDF file for future employers? Yep, you guessed it. The Merge PDF tool!
