PURPOSE Combining PDFs creates one package from multiple files. STEPS Open a PDF editor or approved PDF tool, choose combine or merge, add files in the correct order, and save the combined PDF with a clear name. CHECK Review the final file for page order, orientation, duplicates, blank pages, and missing attachments. BE CAREFUL Do not combine confidential and non-confidential files unless all recipients are authorized to view everything. TIP Rename source files before combining if the order matters.
