Merge Word Documents Exported to PDF

Microsoft Word and Google Docs both export documents as PDFs. Once exported, you can use this tool to combine the resulting PDF files into a single document without going back to the source files.

The workflow is: export each Word document as PDF (File → Export → PDF in Word, or File → Download → PDF in Google Docs), then drop all the PDFs into this tool and click Merge.

This approach is useful for assembling annual reports, research papers with separate sections, or multi-author documents where each contributor worked in their own file.

The merged output is a flat PDF without the editable fields from Word, which is usually what you want when distributing a final document. If you need to maintain section bookmarks, arrange the source PDFs in the correct order before merging.
