What it is & how to use it

Combine multiple PDFs into one file. Prefer browser-local merge when documents are sensitive — TCB PDF merge is designed to process in your tab.

How to use the PDF Merger

1) Collect PDFs and keep originals.
2) Drop files and set order.
3) Merge and spot-check first/last pages.
4) Archive the source set.

Intermediate

Formula & worked example

Output page count = sum of included pages (minus any you exclude).
Practical rule: unlock encrypted PDFs before merge; confirm order before download.

Advanced

Interpretation, edge cases & next steps

Hosted suites win for OCR/e-sign; browser-local wins for private quick merge.
Advanced: respect size/page caps shown in UI; chain compress after merge if needed.
