Local PDF Merging Guide
Combine separate PDF documents into a single consolidated file directly on your smartphone without uploading sensitive agreements or invoices to external web servers.
Why Local On-Device Merging Matters
Many free online “Merge PDF” websites require you to upload your files to their remote cloud servers. For confidential paperwork such as property sale deeds, financial audits, medical records, or legal contracts, uploading to third-party web tools poses severe data leak risks.
Step-by-Step Merging Workflow
Open the Merge Tool
From the NVIN Scanner home screen, tap the 'Merge PDFs' action card in the utility tools section.
Select Target PDF Files
Browse your device storage or recent NVIN Scanner scans and select two or more PDF documents you wish to combine.
Order the Document Sequence
Drag the selected PDF file cards to position them in the exact order you want them to appear in the merged output.
Name & Compile
Provide a custom title (e.g., 'Consolidated_Property_Deed.pdf') and tap 'Merge Now'. The new consolidated PDF is generated instantly in local phone storage.
If any of the PDFs you select are encrypted with a password (e.g. bank e-statements), you will be prompted to enter the document password before NVIN Scanner can decrypt and append the pages to the combined file.
