If you want to merge a PDF from several files on your Mac, you do not need any additional software. The preview function makes it quick and easy. In this practical tip, we show you how to do it for macOS High Sierra.
Merge multiple PDF files: How to do it under macOS
To begin with, set the PDF files to be opened via “Preview (default)”. To do this, right-click (secondary click) on the PDF file. Select “Information”. There you set “Preview” under the item “Open with”. Then go to “Change all”.
- Mark the PDF files you want to merge and open them with a double click.
- Go to the “Display” item in the menu bar and click on the “Thumbnails” option. On the left side you will now see the documents in the preview.
- Select the pages in the thumbnails that you want to drag into the other PDF file. Press and hold the selection and drag them into the thumbnails of the other PDF file.
- Drag the pages into the thumbnails of the other PDF file.
- The PDF file is saved automatically. The file name of the unselected PDF is retained.
- Another option for merging PDFs on the Mac is the web app of our partner SodaPDF.
