How to merge multiple PDF files effortlessly

3 minute read


PDFs come from everywhere—emails, scanners, apps, downloads, and coworkers. Before you know it, you’re juggling several separate files that really should be one clean and organized document.

Whether you’re assembling a client proposal, grouping scanned pages, or preparing a single file for submission, merging PDFs is one of the simplest and most useful skills to master. This guide will help you combine multiple PDFs smoothly and professionally step-by-step.

Step 1: Choose and upload your files

Combining PDFs always starts the same way: by getting your files into the box.

  1. Open Soda PDF’s merging tool
  2. Upload your documents
    Drag and drop your files, or upload them into the box from your device, Google Drive, or Dropbox. You can upload:
  • Scanned PDF’s
  • Multiple pages documents
  • Reports and brochures

💡 As an assistant, you will find it very easy to merge several parts of a contract or gather various chapters of a report.

Step 2: Arrange file order

While uploading your different documents, you can already rearrange the file order.

  1. Change the order. Simply drag your file to rearrange the sequence.
  2. Delete unwanted pages. If you see blank pages or duplicates, remove them before merging.
  3. Click on Merge Files. Only a few seconds to wait, then click on Open my document.

Note: You can upload as many files as you want—6, 10, 15 documents.

💡 As an entrepreneur, putting an invoice, a quote, and terms together and in the right order before sending to a client is priceless and much more professional.

Step 3: Edit your new document (optional)

Take the opportunity to refine your final merged document:

  • Insert a signature section
  • Crop, compress or organize your pages
  • Use AI Assistant to get answers, and summaries about the content
  • Rotate, duplicate or remove pages

  • Save it in OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox

Make sure your new document has a descriptive file name to quickly find it in the future.
