Why You Might Need to Merge PDFs

Merging PDFs is one of the most common document tasks. You need to combine files when submitting applications, organizing reports, or sharing multiple documents as a single attachment. Here are the scenarios people run into most:

Combining scanned pages

Scanned each page of a document separately? Merge them into a single PDF so they're easy to share, print, and archive as one file.

Assembling applications

Job applications, university submissions, and visa applications often require everything in one PDF: resume, cover letter, transcripts, and supporting documents.

Building reports

Combine cover pages, data sections, charts, and appendices from different sources into a polished single document for stakeholders or clients.

Organizing tax documents

Bundle receipts, W-2s, 1099s, and other tax forms into organized packets for your accountant. One PDF per category keeps filing clean and efficient.
