Using MyFiles Merge and Split

My Files is your personal folder where you can store and reuse your work-related documents. In addition, you can extract and combine pages from PDFs to create new PDFs. The PDFs can be forwarded to other destinations, for example, a folder or downloaded.

Note: Merge can only be used with PDFs. No other file format is supported. An error message appears if users attempt to merge documents that are not PDFs.

You can create new PDFs from other PDFs by using the following My Files options.

Note: You cannot delete pages from the PDF.
