How to Combine Scanned PDFs into One Document

Overview

You can combine multiple scanned PDFs into one document using a merge PDF tool. Set the order of files before merging. If you need searchable text, run OCR on the combined file or on each scan before merging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I combine scanned and digital PDFs?
Yes. Merge tools accept both. The result will have both types of pages in the order you set.
Should I OCR before or after merging?
You can do either. OCR before merging if you want one searchable file; OCR after if you prefer to merge first and then run OCR on the combined file.
