Merge PDF Files Online — Combine Marksheets, Certificates & Documents

How to combine multiple PDF files into one document for job applications, scholarship forms, and government submissions in India.

Most Indian job applications, scholarship forms, and government submissions require you to upload a single PDF containing multiple documents — your resume, marksheets, certificates, and ID proof.

Common merge scenarios: Combining all semester marksheets for a job application, merging Aadhaar + PAN + address proof for KYC, combining experience letters for a new job, and bundling all certificates for a scholarship.

Order matters: Arrange your files in the correct order before merging. For job applications, the typical order is: Resume → Educational certificates → Experience letters → ID proof.

File size after merging: The merged PDF size is approximately the sum of all individual files. If the total exceeds the portal's limit, compress the merged PDF using Tools360's Compress tool.

How to use Tools360 Merge: Upload all your PDFs, drag to reorder them, and click Merge. The tool preserves the original quality of each document.

For scholarship applications (NSP, state scholarships): Typically require: Aadhaar, income certificate, caste certificate, marksheets, bank passbook, and fee receipt — all in one PDF under 2MB.

For UPSC/SSC applications: The DAF (Detailed Application Form) often requires supporting documents as a single merged PDF.

Tip: After merging, add page numbers using Tools360's Page Numbers tool so reviewers can easily reference specific pages.
