With Batch PDF Merger, I can combine multiple PDF reports into a single document allowing them to be transmitted to a commercial printer. What a great time and cost saver.

My legal team cannot have confidential PDFs floating around on the internet. Batch PDF Merger takes care of my PDF merges on the desktop

Yes. The "batch" in Batch PDF Merger is literal: a typical job merges hundreds of PDFs in a single pass. Drag the folder in, set the order, click Merge Files, and the app adds each file end to end and writes one combined PDF. It is the same for a bulk PDF merge of 1,000 files as for merging two, and your originals are left untouched.
Whether you call it combining, concatenating, assembling, joining, or bulk merging PDFs — the workflow is the same: pick the files, set the order, get one output document. Batch PDF Merger handles every variant of the task in a single drag-and-drop session:
Yes. Click Split/View Pages and every page of every file is listed on its own; drag pages into a new order or remove the ones you don't need, then merge. See how to rearrange PDF pages.
Batch PDF Merger splits files into pages so you can arrange them, and always saves one merged PDF. To split a PDF into separate files, use our free Multi PDF Splitter.
It depends on what is in the file. Lossless keeps the text as it is and trims what it can. For scanned documents, High quality (180 DPI), Balanced (120 DPI) and Maximum (75 DPI, grey) store each page as a lighter image: in our test, 24 scanned documents went from 24.45 MB to 6.19 MB on Balanced, 75% smaller. Pages stored as images have no selectable text, bookmarks or links, and the app tells you so.
No. Batch PDF Merger merges everything on your own computer, so confidential documents never reach a third-party server. Our trust page lists every connection the app makes.
No. Batch PDF Merger works with PDF files only. To turn photos and scans into PDFs first, use Multi PDF Converter; to merge Excel, CSV or text files, use Bulk File Merger.
