Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What happens to text files when they're merged with PDFs?

When you merge a text file with PDF documents, our tool automatically converts the text content into a new page within the final document. The text is formatted with proper line breaks and basic structure preservation, creating a seamless integration with your PDF pages. You can choose whether the final output should be a PDF file or a text file, depending on your needs.

Can I control the order of pages in the merged document?

Absolutely! Our tool features an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that allows you to arrange your files in any order before merging. This means you can place text files between PDF pages, at the beginning, at the end, or in any sequence that makes sense for your specific document structure.

Will the formatting of my original PDF files be preserved?

Yes, the content and formatting of your original PDF files are preserved exactly as they were. The merging process doesn't alter the existing PDF content - it simply combines the pages from your PDF files with converted pages from your text files into a new document.

What's the difference between outputting as PDF vs. text?

When you output as PDF, text files are converted to PDF pages and combined with your existing PDF files into a single PDF document. When you output as text, PDF files are converted to text content and combined with your text files into a single text document. The choice depends on whether you need the formatting capabilities of PDF or the editability of plain text.

Is there a limit to how many files I can merge at once?

Since processing happens in your browser, the practical limit depends on your device's memory. Most modern computers can handle 20-30 files in a single merging session. For very large collections, we recommend processing in batches or using our dedicated PDF merger for PDF-only collections.

Are my documents secure during the merging process?

Yes, security and privacy are fundamental to our tool. All processing occurs entirely within your browser using JavaScript, which means your files are never uploaded to our servers or any external service. Your documents remain completely private on your device throughout the entire merging process.

Can I use this tool on mobile devices?

Absolutely! Our PDF and Text merger is fully responsive and works perfectly on smartphones and tablets. The interface adapts to smaller screens, making it convenient to merge documents on mobile devices when needed.
