How to Merge PDF Files for Job and Exam Applications
Many portals accept only one PDF, but your documents are in many files. Merging them is quick and does not need any software.
Step by step
- If some documents are photos, turn them into PDFs with JPG to PDF.
- Open Merge PDF and add all your PDF files.
- Use the arrows to set the order, for example application form first, then ID proof, then certificates.
- Click merge and download the result.
- Open the final file and scroll through every page before you upload it.
If the file is too large
Portals often have a size limit. Check the size of your merged file. If it is too big, try Compress PDF, which works best for scanned documents, or Split PDF if the portal allows several smaller files.
Naming tips
- Use simple names without special characters, such as
marksheet-10th.pdf. - Keep your original files in a separate folder as a backup.
Common mistakes
- Wrong page order.
- Blurry or tilted scans. Retake them in good light.
- Sideways pages. Fix them with Rotate PDF before merging.
