Merge PDF Files

Use this merge PDF tool to combine invoices, reports, forms, and scanned pages into one document in your browser. The upload order becomes the final page order, which makes it useful for fast document assembly without a server round trip.

Why Use This Tool

  • Combines multiple PDF files into a single download.
  • Processes files locally in the browser for better privacy.
  • Works well for reports, contracts, forms, and scanned page sets.

How DocuKit Processes This Task

  • Loads each source with pdf-lib and copies its pages into a new PDF in the visible file order.
  • Source page sizes are retained. Document-level items such as signatures, bookmarks, forms, and attachments still need verification in the new file.

Best For

  • Combining invoices, appendices, signed pages, and scans into one shareable file.
  • Creating one final PDF from several small source documents.
  • Quick browser-based assembly when page order matters more than advanced editing.

What to Check Before Downloading

  • Confirm the file order (drag to rearrange) before merging because the final PDF follows that sequence.
  • Open the merged file and spot-check the first, middle, and last pages.
  • Review form fields, annotations, or unusual source PDFs carefully after export.

Current Limitations

  • If a source PDF is damaged or protected, the merge can fail and should be retried with a clean file.

Common Questions
