A SMALL TASK, FINISHED
How to merge PDFs
Start with the first PDF
Open the document that should come first. Choose an unlocked PDF from your device, up to 80 MB per input file.
Add the other pages
Use Add PDF pages in the page sidebar to select more PDFs. Their pages are appended to the current document.
Put everything in order
Select a thumbnail and use Move up or Move down. Rotate or remove unwanted pages, then use Download PDF to save the combined copy.
A NOTE BEFORE YOU START
Useful tools.
Honest limits.
- The downloaded document keeps original vector page content, but existing form values and added edits are flattened. Do not expect an interactive form workflow.
- Encrypted PDFs need to be unlocked first. Large sets of files can use substantial browser memory, even if each input is within the file limit.
- Your source files are not overwritten. Download the combined PDF before closing the tab; this is not cloud document storage.
Merge PDFs: common questions
How do I combine PDF files in the order I want?
Open the first PDF, then use Add PDF pages to append the next one. Added pages appear in the sidebar. Select a page and use Move up or Move down, or remove it if it is not needed. Reopen the download to confirm the final sequence.
Will merging PDFs preserve fillable forms?
No interactive-form workflow is promised. Original vector page content is retained, but existing form values and added edits are flattened in the download. Keep the originals if you need to fill fields later.
Are my PDFs uploaded to merge them?
No. PDF contents and filenames remain on your device. Anonymous usage counts are separate from your documents.
Which PDF workflow fits your task?
Small corrections, signatures, and page changes
Use Paperwork for supported selectable-text edits, drawn signatures, compression, and page organization. PDF contents stay on your device; no account is required.
Rewriting paragraphs or rebuilding the layout
Edit the original document in the application that created it when possible, then export a new PDF. Paperwork does not automatically reflow paragraphs.
Scans, sensitive redaction, or verified signing
Choose a tool with OCR for scanned text, secure redaction for removing sensitive content, or certificate-based signing when the recipient requires it. Paperwork does not provide these features.
