Merging

Three files that should have been one

The contract in one file, the attachment in another, the signature scan in a third. The recipient opens three attachments and orders them in their head.

Merge your filesThe result is one PDF

Merging looks like an operation without traps, and mostly it is. One thing can still spoil the result: the order. Files dropped in together line up the way the system sorted them, and that is usually alphabetical rather than what you had in mind.

Order is set before merging

The simplest way is to start the names with numbers — 1-contract, 2-attachment, 3-signature. Then any sort gives the same result, wherever you open them.

What does not change

Merging does not recalculate pages. Each page goes in as it was, at its own size and orientation. If one file was landscape, it stays landscape in the middle of the document.

The size of the result

The sum of the files is roughly the size of the result. The task limit is 100 MB and 50 files, and scans eat that limit far faster than text.

This is one of the tools that runs in the browser: the files never leave your device, so there is nothing to upload and nothing deleted an hour later.
