Merge PDFs in three steps
Add Files
Drop PDFs into the merge queue. Drag to reorder them. Set per-file page ranges if you only need specific pages from certain documents.
Configure Options
Choose whether to generate bookmarks from filenames, set output naming, or switch to merge-by-pattern mode for automatic grouping.
Merge
Click merge and get your combined PDF in seconds. For pattern mode, each group produces its own merged output file automatically.
Key Capabilities
Two merge modes for every scenario
Manual Merge
- Drag-and-drop reordering of files in the merge queue
- Per-file page ranges (e.g., pages 1-3 from file A, pages 5-10 from file B)
- Auto-generate bookmarks from source filenames
- Preview the merge order before executing
- Custom output filename and location
Merge-by-Pattern

- Perfect for invoices, reports, and recurring documents
- Customizable grouping patterns
- Batch output with predictable naming conventions
Output Options
- Choose output directory or overwrite source files
- Preserve original folder structure in output
- Automatic bookmark generation from source documents
- Page number continuation across merged files
- Handles PDFs of different page sizes gracefully
Scale & Performance
- Merge dozens or hundreds of files in one operation

- Supports PDF 1.0 through 2.0
- Chain with split, optimize, or other operations in a pipeline
Use Cases
When merging PDFs by hand is not an option
Monthly Invoice Bundles
An accounting team receives 200 invoices each month. Merge-by-pattern groups them by vendor and month, producing one bundled PDF per group for archival.
Case File Assembly
A law firm assembles case files from 30+ exhibits, depositions, and filings. Drag to reorder, set page ranges for relevant sections, and merge into a single court-ready document.
Report Compilation
A project manager combines weekly reports from 12 team members into a single executive summary document every Friday. Bookmarks are auto-generated from each contributor's filename.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I select specific pages from each file?
Yes. Each file in the merge queue supports per-file page ranges. For example, you can take pages 1-3 from document A, page 5 from document B, and pages 8-12 from document C — all into one merged PDF.
Does merging preserve bookmarks and links?
Yes. Existing bookmarks from source documents are carried into the merged output. You can also auto-generate new bookmarks from each source filename for easy navigation.
How many files can I merge at once?
There is no hard limit. Users routinely merge hundreds of files in a single operation. The app processes them sequentially with real-time progress tracking and efficient memory handling.
What is merge-by-pattern mode?
Merge-by-pattern groups files automatically based on naming rules — for example, grouping invoices by vendor or month. Each group produces its own merged output, so you can batch-merge hundreds of files into organized bundles with one click.
