How to Merge PDF Files Step by Step
- Upload Files: Select two or more PDF files you want to combine. You can drag them all in at once.
- Arrange: Use the drag handles to reorder your files until they are in the perfect sequence.
- Merge: Choose any extra options (like bookmarks) and click "Merge & Download" to save your new document.
Advanced Merge Options
We don't just glue pages together. PDFMarshal gives you professional control over the final document structure.
- Maintain Bookmarks: Keep the navigation structure from your original files intact.
- Table of Contents: Automatically generate a clickable TOC pointing to the start of each merged file.
- Insert Blank Pages: Ensure new sections start on the right-hand side for double-sided printing.
Perfect for creating report packs, legal bundles, or e-books where navigation and structure matter.

Many online mergers require you to upload your files to a cloud server. PDFMarshal is different.
