Tips & Best Practices
To get the best results when merging PDFs, consider these professional tips that ensure quality and efficiency:
- • Check File Names: Ensure your PDFs have clear, descriptive names before uploading to make arrangement easier.
- • Verify Page Orientation: Make sure all PDFs have consistent orientation (portrait or landscape) for a professional appearance.
- • Preview Before Merging: Use the preview feature to verify you've selected the correct files and arranged them properly.
- • Consider File Size: While we support files up to 100MB each, smaller files process faster. Consider compressing large PDFs first.
- • Organize Logically: Arrange documents in a logical sequence that makes sense for your readers.
- • Add Bookmarks Later: For very long merged documents, consider adding bookmarks or a table of contents using our Edit PDF tool after merging.
