For Windows Users:

Blueprints Printing recommends using this powerful tool to merge your PDF’s before uploading. If you have any issues during installation or using the tool, reference below for help documentation. Download here.

This will by default download three pdf editing software packages.  Use the “PDFill PDF Tools (Free)” package to merge, extract, and edit pdf’s without any added watermark.

What Is PDFill?

PDFill PDF Tools are FREE PDF functions to merge, split, reorder, delete, encrypt, decrypt, rotate, crop and reformat PDF pages,  to add information, header, footer and watermark, to convert images to PDF, PDF to images or PostScript to PDF, to delete, flatten and list form fields, to scan to pdf, to create transparent image, and more.

How To Merge Documents:

  • Choose Free PDF Tools > Merge PDF Files
  • The Merge PDF Files dialog box comes up
  • Click Add a PDF File to add PDF files that you wish to merge into a new PDF file.  Each file’s name, total pages and location are displayed. You can add the same file more than once.  Press Ctrl Key to select multiple PDF files in the File Selection Dialog.
