Check first

Check these three things first

  • Page order is wrong or pages are duplicated: almost always the order in the list, not the merge itself.
  • Bookmarks disappeared: many online tools rebuild the document page by page and lose the outline.
  • The final file doubled in size: a sign that pages were turned into images instead of being copied.

How to fix

How to fix it

Use the local merge tool: the file is read and assembled in the tab without being uploaded. Bookmarks from every document are copied and re-pointed to the new page numbers, page labels and metadata survive, and pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so text stays selectable and images are not recompressed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a password-protected PDF be merged?

Remove the protection in your PDF reader first, then merge the unlocked copy: an encrypted file cannot be opened without its password.

Do forms stay fillable after merging?

No. A PDF can hold only one form for the whole document, so fields do not survive the merge even when the pages do.
