Ever found yourself with a collection of separate PDF files that you wish were just one single, streamlined document? Maybe it’s several chapters of a report, a handful of invoices, or different scans for an application. Your first thought might be to look for a powerful tool like Adobe Acrobat, but what if you don’t have it? Good news! If you’re a Mac user, you already have a powerful, free tool built right into your operating system that can merge PDFs in just a few clicks. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the surprisingly simple process of combining PDF files using your Mac’s native Preview app — no extra software or subscriptions required.
- In a Finder window or on your desktop, select the files you want to combine.
- Hold the Control key on your keyboard and click the selected files.
- Choose Quick Actions and then select Create PDF.
- A new PDF file will be created in the same location.
