Introduction

Converting files to PDF and merging them into one document can be very helpful in many situations. PDF files are well-known for keeping the formatting and content of documents the same on any device. This is important when you want to share information with others and make sure nothing changes. By combining several files into a single PDF, you can organize everything in one place, making it easy to manage, share, and store important documents.

Common Use Cases for Combining Files into a Single PDF

  • Archiving a Folder: If you have a folder with many files like reports, images, or scans, turning them into one PDF makes long-term storage simple. For example, a company may want to keep all monthly invoices together so they can easily look back at them later.
  • Collecting Receipts or Similar Documents: Many people need to save receipts for things like business expenses or personal record keeping. Instead of keeping many separate image or text files, you can merge them into one PDF. For example, after a business trip, you can scan or photograph all your receipts and combine them into a single PDF file to submit for expense reimbursement.
