Direct answer
Before choosing merge-pdf, decide whether your task requires combine multiple inputs while preserving their intended order; confirm the output format and what must remain unchanged.
Key takeaways
- Purpose: combine multiple inputs while preserving their intended order.
- Check: page count, page order, orientation, selectable text and annotations.
- Limitation: encrypted files, signatures, forms and scans may behave differently.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the output is correct because the operation completed. Instead, inspect page count, page order, orientation, selectable text and annotations.
- Using production or confidential material as the first test. Use a three-page project brief and a two-page appendix instead.
- Ignoring compatibility: encrypted files, signatures, forms and scans may behave differently.
