[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":29},["ShallowReactive",2],{"content-pdf-merge-en":3},{"about":4,"steps":8,"faq":13},[5,6,7],"Job applications, invoices, scanned contracts: often several PDFs have to be sent as one file or uploaded to a portal. With this tool you combine any number of PDFs into one document, set their order and, if you like, take only certain pages of each file.","Processing happens entirely in your browser – your documents are never uploaded. That makes the tool suitable for confidential papers such as contracts, ID copies or bank statements.","Pages are copied unchanged, with their content, size and rotation. Title and author come from the first file. To pull out single pages use [[pdf-split]]; to rotate or delete pages use [[pdf-pages]].",[9,10,11,12],"Drop the PDFs onto the drop zone or click to choose them. You can add more at any time.","Put the files in the order you want – by dragging or with the arrow buttons.","Optionally enter the pages you need per file, e.g. “1-3, 5”. Empty means all pages.","Click “Merge PDFs” and download the result.",[14,17,20,23,26],{"q":15,"a":16},"Are my PDFs uploaded?","No. The files are read and merged with the pdf-lib library directly in your browser. Nothing leaves your device, not even for the thumbnails.",{"q":18,"a":19},"How do I select only certain pages?","Enter the pages separated by commas: “1-3, 5, 8-” takes pages 1 to 3, page 5 and everything from page 8. “-3” means pages 1 to 3, “last” the last page and “5-3” pages 5, 4 and 3 in that order.",{"q":21,"a":22},"Why is a PDF rejected?","Usually the file is encrypted or password-protected. The tool cannot edit such PDFs. Open it with the password in your PDF app and save or print it as a new PDF – then it works. Less often the file is damaged or not a PDF at all.",{"q":24,"a":25},"Is there a size limit?","There is no fixed limit, but the browser keeps all files in memory. From about 100 MB per file the tool shows a hint because it may get slow – especially on phones.",{"q":27,"a":28},"Are bookmarks, links and forms kept?","The visible content of every page is kept completely. The outline (bookmarks) of the source files is not carried over, though, and fillable form fields may no longer work in the result.",1792336934673]
