Advantages of merging PDF on mobile devices

If you’re new to working with PDFs on your phone, you may think merging PDFs on your device could be more complicated than it's worth.

Yet, it actually offers many advantages.

You can merge PDF files anytime and anywhere, accessing and merging the PDFs stored on either your phone or cloud storage with ease.

And you also get the same desktop flexibility on your phone to customize the order of pages and combine native and scanned PDFs together.

You can create the comprehensive PDFs you need while in transit, sitting in waiting rooms, or when it's an emergency.

How to merge PDF files on your phone

So how do you go about the task on your phone?

Use Xodo, our full-featured suite of PDF tools that is cross-platform and has an Android app and iOS app with a dedicated PDF merge file tool built right in. 

Install it onto your device and follow the steps below. While the steps are for Android, the process is similar for iOS devices, so you can easily merge PDFs on iPhone using the same method.

1. Tap on the Xodo icon on your screen.

2. Tap on the Toolbox button from the toolbar menu at the bottom.

3. Select Manage PDF > Merge Pages.

4. Select the PDFs you wish to merge. Select as many PDFs as you need. For instance, you can easily combine three PDFs into one at the same time.

If you don’t see your file listed, tap on ADD FILES to browse for and select your PDF from a list of different locations.

5. Tap on NEXT. Rearrange the order in which you want your PDF files to appear in the newly merged PDF.

Simply long tap and drag on the handles on the right-hand side of the file name.

Also, at this stage, you can choose whether to save the merged file to your Xodo Drive or not.

6. Tap on MERGE.

Once your PDFs are merged, you can continue your work with the options below:

• Suggested Actions: These are Xodo’s suggested actions that let you access the tools you may need for the next step in your workflow without ever leaving the app.
• More Actions: If the action you need isn’t listed, you can easily access the list of original set of tools right from where you are.

Selecting either option will automatically upload and set up your PDF in the tool, allowing you to continue your work without disruption.

Right at your fingertips, you’ll have options to edit, sign, annotate, compress, convert, and even sign your PDF documents.
