How to Merge Multiple PDFs Into One File

3 min read · PDF Basics · January 2025

Merging PDFs is one of the most common document tasks. A cover letter and a CV. Multiple scanned pages of a contract. Several invoices for an expense report. Whatever the reason, combining PDFs into one file is simple and takes under a minute.

File Order Matters

The merged PDF will contain the pages in the order you selected the files. If the order is wrong, you have two options:

What Happens to Bookmarks and Links?

When merging PDFs, internal hyperlinks within each document are preserved. Bookmarks (the navigation panel in PDF viewers) are also carried over. Cross-document links — for example a link in document A that points to a specific page in document B — will not automatically update after merging.

Merging Scanned Pages

If you have multiple scanned pages as separate PDF files — for example a multi-page form scanned one page at a time — merging is the fastest way to combine them into one document. For best results, check that all pages are correctly oriented first using the Rotate PDF tool.

Alternative: Images to PDF

If your source files are images (JPG, PNG) rather than PDFs, use the Images to PDF tool instead. It converts multiple images directly into a single PDF in one step.
