Merge Multiple PDFs

Joins multiple PDF files into a single PDF, preserving page order and bookmarks where present. Unlike Concatenate files, this step understands the PDF format and produces a valid merged document.

Inputs

Section titled “Inputs”
  • Source PDFs — list of input PDF paths in order
  • Output path — destination for the merged PDF

Output

Section titled “Output”

A single PDF containing all pages from the source PDFs in the order listed.

Common Uses

Section titled “Common Uses”
  • Assembling monthly reports from individual report PDFs
  • Combining a cover sheet, body, and appendices into a single deliverable
  • Bundling generated invoices into a per-customer or per-period archive

Notes

Section titled “Notes”
  • Bookmark and metadata behavior depends on the source PDFs. Some sources strip metadata; the merged output reflects the union of what’s present.
  • Form fields in source PDFs may be flattened in the merged output to avoid name collisions.
