What is Merge PDF?
When you combine multiple files, the underlying system doesn't just staple pages together; it programmatically reads the structural dictionary of each document, consolidates their font subsets and image resources, and generates a completely new, unified file tree. This technical approach ensures that interactive elements like internal links and bookmarks from the original documents remain intact, preventing the data corruption or bloat often caused by basic copy-paste methods. By structurally unifying these assets, you create a seamless reading experience across what were previously separate, disjointed pages.
