What you need
Steps
Open Foxit PDF Editor and select Combine Files to start a new merged document.
Click Add Files to pick individual PDFs, or Add Folder to bring in every PDF in a folder at once.
Switch between thumbnail and list view to inspect the source files and check their pages.
Remove any file you do not need, then use Choose Pages to add only the exact page range you want from a source PDF.
Drag files into the order you want, or select a file and use Move Up or Move Down.
Check the file list and total page count before you merge, then click Combine to build the single PDF.
Open the merged PDF and check bookmarks, links, and page quality so nothing is missing or broken.
Save the finished file with File > Save As, give it a clear name, and store it as your single record.
Tips and common mistakes
Name your source files clearly before you start so the right order is easier to spot.
Check the page count and first page of each file after merging, especially when you used page ranges.
Keep a backup of the original PDFs until you have opened and checked the merged file.
If links or bookmarks matter, test a few in the merged PDF before you share it.
Questions
Can I merge a whole folder of PDFs at once?
Yes. Add Folder lets you bring in every PDF in a folder, then you can remove or reorder files before merging.
Does merging PDFs reduce the page quality?
Foxit's Combine Files is designed to keep the original page quality, but open the merged file and check text and images before sharing it.
Is Foxit PDF Editor free to use for merging PDFs?
Foxit offers a free trial of Foxit PDF Editor. For ongoing use after the trial, you need a paid licence.
