How to combine PDFs into one evidence or court bundle

Compile payslips, certificates, exhibits, and letters into a single PDF attachment for court, tribunal, or HR review. Reorder in the browser without Acrobat—built for the “one bundle” ask that shows up in Facebook legal and workplace groups.

What people are asking

Facebook posts: “struggling to compile all my evidence into one single bundle”; court e-file rules that want one PDF; paralegals merging motion + exhibits.

The goal is one attachment a judge or caseworker can open—not twenty email attachments.

What Merge PDF files actually does

  • Stack many PDFs into one file in a chosen order.
  • Handle locked PDFs when you know the open password.
  • Keep processing local in the browser.

What it does not do

  • Create bookmarks named Exhibit A automatically (merge is order-based).
  • Apply Bates numbers by itself—use Add Bates numbers after you merge if you need continuous stamps.

Steps

  1. Gather every PDF that belongs in the bundle (rename clearly first if that helps you).
  2. Open Merge PDF files and add them.
  3. Drag into filing order: cover / index → pleadings → exhibits → correspondence.
  4. Optional next step: open Add Bates numbers or Add page numbers on the merged file.
  5. Download and spot-check page order before you e-file or email.
