Bring related documents together without losing track of their sources.

Collect several approved PDFs into one document for a review, handoff, or record. Confirm the source files and their sequence, inspect the combined result for omissions or unintended material, and have the document owner approve its destination and audience.

Keep in mind

A combined file can disclose information to a wider audience or mix documents with different access restrictions. Verify permission for every source, confirm the exact order and recipients, inspect the complete result, and require owner approval before filing it in a shared location or sending it externally.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Set source and permission boundaries

Specify which documents may be combined and how their access restrictions should be respected.

Define ordering and naming conventions

Choose how files are sequenced and how the finished document is identified for review.

Choose an appropriate review location

Keep the unfinished bundle accessible only to people responsible for checking it.

Assign bundle approvers

Name who verifies sources, order, contents, and recipients before the result is shared.
