How to Combine Multiple PDFs into One with Soda PDF

Combining multiple PDFs into one can be a useful task, whether you're looking to merge documents for work or personal use. With Soda PDF, you can easily combine your PDF files into one document without any hassle. Here's how.

Step 1: Open Soda PDF and Select the Merge Files Option

To start combining your PDFs, open Soda PDF on your computer and select the 'Merge Files' option from the top menu bar or click on it from the Home tab. This will open a new window where you can add all the files you want to combine.

Step 2: Add Your PDF Files

Click on the 'Add Files' button to select the PDFs you want to combine. You can choose individual files by clicking on them, or you can select multiple files at once by holding down the Command key while selecting. Alternatively, you can also use the 'Add Opened Files' option to choose between any PDF files currently open in Soda PDF.

Step 3: Arrange Your Files

Once all your files are added, you'll see a list of them on the left side of the window. You can arrange them in any order you like by dragging and dropping them into position. You can also use the 'Clear All' button to remove all files from the list if needed.

Step 4: Combine Your Files

Click on the 'Merge Files' button to combine your selected PDFs. Soda PDF will then merge the files into one document, preserving the original layout and formatting of each page.

Step 5: Customize Your Merged Document

After merging your files, you can customize the resulting document by rotating, deleting, or reordering pages using the thumbnail section. You can also use the 'Trash Can' icon next to each file to remove it from the list if needed.

Tips and Variations

If you have macOS Sierra or earlier, you can drag the thumbnails directly into a thumbnail in another PDF to combine parts of one document with another. Alternatively, you can press and hold the Command key and select the page thumbnails that you want to add to the other document.

Some encrypted PDF documents may not be compatible for merging, so make sure to check the permissions of each file before combining them. You can do this by choosing 'Tools' > 'Show Inspector' and clicking on the lock icon.

Combining multiple PDFs into one with Soda PDF is a straightforward process that requires minimal effort. By following these steps, you can easily merge your files and create a single document for easy reference or sharing. Whether you're working on a project or simply need to combine documents for personal use, Soda PDF has got you covered.
