What to check after merging PDFs
Combining files creates one PDF, but it does not guarantee a ready-to-send document. Review the final file page by page.
Steps
1. Rename source files in the desired order. 2. Add them to the merge tool in that order. 3. Download and check page order and orientation. 4. Test table-of-contents links, forms, annotations and fonts.
Important limits
Editing a digitally signed PDF can invalidate the signature. Scans can be rotated or cropped incorrectly, and their text may remain unsearchable. For private documents, read the tool’s data handling notice first.
