Merge Multiple PDFs Into One: Best Practices

Whether compiling reports or combining invoices, here is how to merge PDFs efficiently.

Merging PDFs is our most popular tool, and for good reason. Storing 12 different invoice PDFs for a single project is an organizational nightmare. Combining them into one master file makes sharing and archiving infinitely easier.

Keep the Order Straight

When you use the LovePDFs Merge tool, you can drag and drop the files to reorder them before clicking merge. A best practice is to always include a cover page or a Table of Contents as the very first file in your merge queue, especially if you are sending the document to a client.

File Size Warnings

Remember that merging PDFs adds their file sizes together. If you merge ten 5MB files, you will get a 50MB file. If your merged file ends up too large for email, simply pass the resulting master file right back through our 'Compress PDF' tool!
