What Online PDF Merger is
Online PDF Merger is a free web service for combining uploaded PDF files into one document. The workflow is to upload files, arrange their order, merge them and download the result. Each operation accepts up to 20 PDFs. Uploaded files are deleted after processing, and generated PDFs are automatically removed after 30 minutes; users can also remove generated files with the “Delete all Datas” button. The service says uploaded PDFs and related information, including passwords, are used only for processing and are not shared with third parties. Its privacy page notes Google Analytics cookies for statistics, and KNet Solutions is identified as responsible for the service. A help page explains the merger steps. The site also links to PDF tools for decrypting, encrypting, rotating, conversion to HTML or text, and password generation.
