MacOS: Merge PDFs - combine your files

Over time, you accumulate some information that you simply merge into one PDF file. Not only does this reduce your workload, but you can also access all the files at a glance. To do this, you access a tool that is already installed on your Mac.

How to combine your files

By merging PDF files, you will not only save storage space on your Mac, but also provide a better overview of your files.

1. Select one of the two files and open it in the "Preview" app on your Mac.
2. In the top taskbar, you need to click the "View" option and select "Thumbnails" from the drop-down menu.
3. You will now see a thumbnail view on the right side.
4. Determine where you want to insert the other document and click on that location in the thumbnail view.
5. Now you need to click "Edit" first, then "Insert" and then "Pages from Files".
6. Now select the PDF file that you want to combine with the open document and then select "Open".
7. To save both PDF files as one file, you must click "File" and then select the option "Export as PDF".

Is the app "Preview" enough?

The tool is already installed and allows you to merge PDFs, edit them minimally and also compress them. If you work mainly with texts and create your own PDF files or have the right to make changes to the content, then "Preview" is quite enough for you to work effectively.
