Most PDFs can be shrunk by 50\u201370%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consistent page sizes.<\/strong> If your source PDFs have different page sizes (e.g. A4 mixed with Letter), the merged output will preserve each page&#8217;s original size.

If your files are named &#8220;scan001.pdf&#8221; and &#8220;scan002.pdf&#8221;, renaming them to &#8220;CV.pdf&#8221; and &#8220;CoverLetter.pdf&#8221; before uploading makes it easier to verify the order.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Is merging PDFs really free?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes.
