When using Merge Documents, the most common issues fall into 3 categories: file selection, file type, and expected results; this section covers 4 common questions.
FAQ
Can I merge multiple documents at once?
- Yes. You can add multiple same-type files in the Merge Documents interface.
- After selecting the files, tap Start Merge.
- Wait for processing to finish, then review the merged document.
Can I merge files of different types?
- No. Directly merging different file types is not supported on iOS in this workflow.
- If needed, convert the files to the same type first and then merge them.
- Check that the file formats match before starting.
Can Merge Documents intelligently extract content and create a new file?
- No. Merge Documents does not directly support intelligent content extraction to create a new file.
- If you need further organization, edit the merged result manually after the merge is complete.
- You can also use other related tools for follow-up organization if needed.
Why is it recommended to back up the original files before merging?
- A backup helps you restore the original content quickly if the result is not what you expected.
- Page count and layout may change after merging, so a backup makes comparison easier.
- After review, you can decide whether to keep the merged version or replace an earlier organized copy.
