Today we will tell you how easy, and most importantly, quickly to combine pdf files in one. First of all, this can be useful for office workers who work with a large number of documents and create reports. This method was useful to me when submitting documents to the bank, when the bank required that one file correspond to one document. When scanning passport pages, at least 3-5 files are obtained, but our task was to combine these files into one file. And such operations had to be carried out with all the documents. One document - one scan file with all pages.

When is pdf file merging necessary?

Among other things, combining several PDF scans is necessary when your MFP does not have an automatic document feeder and you have to scan one sheet at a time. And just imagine, you have 20 sheets in your hands, which you first need to scan one sheet at a time, save and then combine everything into one pdf file. You can shoot yourself! But unfortunately, we encounter this fact quite often.

It also happens that when scanning the same 20 sheets through the scanner’s automatic document feeder and sending it to your email, several files arrive instead of one. In this case, your multifunctional printer (scanner) either does not have enough memory and it begins to split one file into several, or this is done specifically to limit the size email. In any of these cases, you receive several letters with fragments of a PDF document that need to be combined together. However, do not be upset, since you can combine documents from pdf files within a few minutes. We will tell you how to do this below.

Software for working with pdf files.

Exists huge amount software products that allow you to work with the most common format called pdf. This format was developed and implemented by Adobe, the same company that developed the Photoshop program and a whole bunch of programs for designers and artists. Adobe has its own software for working with pdf documents, which is known to many. There is both free software and paid software. The free version includes Adobe Acrobat Reader, which only allows you to view electronic documents in PDF format. But in order to edit or create documents in pdf format, you need to purchase the Acrobat Pro package. However, its cost makes you wonder whether it is possible to somehow do without it? Perhaps there are free alternatives? At the same time, the functionality of the program can be simplified compared to the original program, but the main thing is that it is free!


Perhaps you were lucky and your employer purchased several copies of licensed Acrobat Pro. In this case, you are lucky, and you can combine two pdf files into one using an original program from Adobe. I will tell you how to combine PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Pro in the next article. In this article we will tell you how to merge PDF documents using third-party software. We will use free PDF program 24 Creator. I have been using this software for a very long time, and it has helped me out very often both when using it at home and at work.

The only disadvantage is that the program only works under operating system Windows. Versions of the program for working with macintosh computers ( apple computers) does not exist. The advantages of this program include advanced functionality: virtual printer, document to pdf converter, pdf constructor, pdf compression and protection removal, and a bunch more. Now our task is to combine several PDF files into one document. So let's start the process.

How to combine pdf files into one document?

The first thing you need to do is download and install the PDF Creator software on your computer. After installation, a PDF24 shortcut in the shape of a sheep will appear on your desktop. For convenience, we create a folder on the desktop, which can be called merged pdf files. In this folder we will put the files that we want to combine. It could be 2, 3,4,5, etc. files. Again, for convenience, rename them according to how they should go in order. Rename the first PDF file to 1, the second to 2, and so on. This is done for convenience so that you don't accidentally combine files in a different order. Otherwise, it may turn out that after merging, the second part of the document comes first, and then the first, although it should be the other way around.

Now open the PDF 24 program and select the item File Tools. We transfer our pdf documents, which need to be combined into one, to the left side of the program. Now you need to set the order of the documents: which should go first, which should go second, and so on. Next, click on the button Merge. File processing begins, after which a window pops up in which you need to select the quality of the document being joined. Choose the best.

How can you guess what better quality- the more the file will weigh. If the size of the resulting document is not critical to you, then always choose Best. If size matters, then choose Medium or Good. Afterwards, you need to select the location where exactly you want to save the document and what to name it, and click the button save. This completes the process of combining pdf files. As you can see, there is nothing complicated, and the time loss is only a couple of minutes.

I hope this method will help you a lot and will help you out every time you need to carry out the procedure of merging PDF files. As mentioned above, in addition to the merging function, the PDF24 program has a whole bunch of features that will definitely come in handy when working with digital documents, but we’ll talk about them some other time.

Method 1: Merging files via the Internet

Method 2: creating a file using Reader DC

Before moving on to the second method, it must be said that the program Adobe Reader DC allows you to "collect" PDF files only if you have a subscription, so you shouldn’t rely on a program from a well-known company if you don’t have a subscription or don’t want to purchase it.

But if you have a subscription to the Adobe Reader DC program, then it is much easier to use it, since the document is created much faster than on the website and you can make more settings. The site is suitable for those who just want to quickly combine several PDF documents into one, but do not have the opportunity to buy some kind of program or purchase a subscription.
