Merge PDFs for School and Job Applications (One Clean File)
Application portals love one upload. You have a transcript, a form, and a photo ID as three files. Uploading the wrong order — or three separate uploads when they asked for one — costs time you do not have.
Merge first, check the page order, compress only if the portal complains about size.
Build the packet in the right order
Put the cover or application form first, then supporting pages, then IDs last unless the portal says otherwise. Rename downloads so you can tell them apart before you merge.
