Combine and Merge PDF Files with ViewCompanion

Combine and merge multiple PDF files into a single PDF

With ViewCompanion you can combine, or merge, your PDF files into a single PDF file.
Merging or combining PDF files is a versatile process that offers numerous advantages. By merging multiple PDF documents into a single, unified file, you can significantly enhance your document management experience.

One of the key benefits is improved organization. Instead of juggling multiple files, you'll have one cohesive document, streamlining your workflow and saving precious time.

Furthermore, merging PDFs preserves the integrity of your documents, ensuring that the original formatting, fonts, and images remain intact.
This is crucial for maintaining the professional appearance of reports, presentations, or contracts.
It's a useful tool for both personal and professional tasks.


To merge PDF files in ViewCompanion, use the PDF Merge tool located under the Tools tab.
Click the button with the icon shown below to open the PDF Merge dialog:

PDF Merge Tool

Add the files you want to combine into a single PDF. The files will be merged in the order they appear in the list, and you can adjust this order at any time using the move up and down buttons.
You can also include files in other supported formats, as shown in the image above — these will be automatically converted to PDF during the merge process.




Bookmarks

If the Add bookmark for each file option is enabled, the first page of every imported file will automatically be added as a bookmark.
This makes it easier to navigate large merged documents, as shown below in Adobe Acrobat.
