Common Use Cases

Combining a Resume and Cover Letter

Employers often request a single PDF containing your resume and cover letter. Upload both files, put the cover letter first, and click Merge. Your application is ready to submit.

Merging Bank Statements

For loan applications or tax filings, you may need to provide 3 to 12 months of bank statements as one document. Upload each monthly statement and merge them in chronological order.

Joining Scanned Pages

If you scanned a multi-page contract one page at a time, upload all the individual scans and merge them into a single PDF to restore the original document.

Troubleshooting

The merged PDF is too large � Use our Compress PDF tool after merging to reduce the file size.

Pages appear in the wrong order � Drag the file cards into the correct sequence before clicking Merge.

A file fails to upload � Ensure the file is a valid PDF and not password-protected. Use the Unlock PDF tool to remove any password first.

The merged PDF is corrupted � Try re-uploading the individual files. If a specific file causes issues, it may be a damaged PDF � use our Repair PDF tool on it first.
