Troubleshooting Merge PDF
The pages came out in the wrong order.
Order follows the thumbnails, not the filenames. Drag the thumbnails into the order you want before clicking Merge — file names ending in 1, 2, 10 sort as 1, 10, 2 alphabetically.
One of my files was rejected.
Only PDFs can be merged directly. Convert images or Office files to PDF first, then merge.
The merged file is very large.
Merging does not recompress anything, so the result is roughly the sum of the inputs. Run Compress PDF afterwards if you need a smaller file.
