Tips for better merges

  • Password-protected PDFs: Unlock the PDF first using the Unlock PDF tool, then merge.
  • Large files: Compress each PDF before merging to keep the final file size manageable.
  • Page order: Use the Reorder Pages tool after merging if you need fine-grained control over individual page order.
  • Scanned documents: For scanned PDFs you want to search, run OCR PDF after merging.
