Troubleshooting and Tips:
- If you are installing the program for the first time, you will need to have the Administrator's permission. If you are getting an error while updating the program, you may need to restart the computer since you may have had the old version open while you were downloading the latest version. After restarting, you can continue updating to the latest version.
- If an error occurs during the merge, this typically means one of your PDF files is encrypted or corrupt. Most of these errors are fixed in version 6.4+. Make sure you quit the program before updating to the latest version. Click here to download the latest version (click "replace" to replace the old version during installation).
Windows Users: Open the pdf file with your default PDF reader (Microsoft Edge typically). Open the problem PDF file and then save the file with a new name (File>Save as>PDF), choose a new name and location. Try re-merging the newly saved file. NOTE: this is not the same as right clicking on the file and renaming it!.
Mac Users: Open the pdf file in the Preview Application and rename the file, save it, and try re-merging.
