Windows operating systems don’t provide built-in means to combine PDF files, but you aren’t without options. In this article, we’ll walk you through each of those options.
Combining multiple PDFs into a single document helps reduce clutter and makes reading, printing, and sharing easier. However, you won’t find native ways to merge PDF files in Windows 11 and 10. So, here are several third-party PDF tools and web apps that can do the job for you instead.
