How to Merge Multiple PDF files into ONE?

What does Merging PDF mean?

PDF merging is the process of combining multiple PDF files into a single, unified document. This merges all the selected documents or files together as one file. So whatever you want to do, share, print or review, becomes a convenient. Merging files is a quick and hassle free process with smart software like Docupile.

How It Works?

You select the individual PDFs—whether they are invoices, reports, contracts, or presentations—and combines them in the order you choose, creating one cohesive file(PDF). You can define the order(which files comes first…) for how the PDFs are arranged when they are merged.

When to use?

Preparing a single document for printing, signing, or sharing.
Consolidating meeting agendas, presentations, or project reports.
Archiving multiple related documents into one file for record-keeping.

Scenario: A company needs to submit a project proposal to a client.

Example: Merge a cover letter (PDF 1), the proposal details (PDF 2), and the cost breakdown (PDF 3) into one cohesive document. This ensures the client receives everything in a single, professional package for review and approval.

Benefit: Simplifies the process of sending, printing, or signing the document while maintaining a polished and an organized appearance.

So is merging the same as combining files?

Combining PDF Files

Outcome: The two PDF files are brought together but can remain as separate files, often within a container like a ZIP file or a binder-style PDF portfolio.

Characteristics:

Each file retains its independent structure and identity.
Useful when grouping files together without merging their contents.
The files are associated with each other but remain distinct.

Example Use Case: Sharing multiple files (e.g., invoices and receipts) as part of a portfolio without altering their individual formats.

Merging PDF Files

Outcome: The two PDF files are combined into a single PDF document, typically in sequential order (e.g., File A’s pages followed by File B’s pages).

Characteristics:

The content from both files becomes part of one unified file.
Useful when creating a single, cohesive document.
Original files no longer exist separately in the output.

Example Use Case: Creating a single report by merging a cover letter (PDF A) and supporting documents (PDF B).
