#MERGING 2 PDF FILES MAC PDF#
To merge or manage PDF files in Windows, you need either a browser extension or a separate third-party productivity app. Windows 11's default Edge web browser lets you view, draw on, and add text to PDFs, and it can even read them aloud to you. This is because Adobe is the most prominent player in the PDF world (having created the format in 1991) and the company is open and transparent about its privacy policies. There's one important exception among online PDF-merging tools- Adobe's free PDF-merge service. Such a site could profit from your data in ways you wouldn't like. You may not want to give that metadata to a site you don’t know anything about and that typically conceals the country in which it's based. Some of these sites seem to have no viable business plan, and their PDF-editing services give them the ability to harvest the data in your files, including invisible metadata that can potentially identify you and your system. With any operating system, you can always use an online app that combines and edits uploaded PDFs, but I’m leery about using almost all of them. If you use Windows, you need a third-party app-and you’re in luck because you can find free, open-source options that can do the job.
