There are many situations in your line of work where you will find that you need to merge PDF files.

If, for instance, you work in a marketing department or an advertising firm, there are certain projects that will have more than one person working on them.

A newsletter or company brochure is one such project. Different designers will work on different images. Article content will also be written by different contributors. You will then have to merge everyone’s work into one to come up with the final piece of work.

You can merge your PDF files using an online PDF editor.  Below are 2 useful online editors that will merge your files in a few simple steps:
