Merging Scanned PDFs
Scanning documents often produces individual PDF files per page. Merging them into one file makes them easier to manage and share.
Common Scanning Scenarios
- Multi-page contracts: Each page scanned separately
- Receipts: Multiple receipts for one expense report
- Book chapters: Scanned one chapter at a time
- ID documents: Front and back of IDs as separate files
Merge Workflow
- Scan all pages to a folder
- Name them in order (page1.pdf, page2.pdf, etc.)
- Open our PDF Merger
- Select all files
- Verify the order
- Merge and download
Tips for Scanned PDFs
- Use the same DPI for all scans (300 DPI recommended)
- Scan in the same color mode (black/white or color)
- Check for blank pages and remove them before merging
- Consider OCR if you need searchable text
- File sizes can be large — compress after merging if needed
