    I use PDF gear that's free. https://www.pdfgear.com/
    It can merge PDFs amongst other things.
    EDIT you can also compress a PDF.

  • If you just need to stick two PDFs together, a few free options:

    1. On a Mac, Preview can open the first PDF, then drag the second into the sidebar and export/save as one file.
    2. 2) On Windows, if you have a recent Microsoft Print to PDF / Edge, you can sometimes print both to one PDF, though it's fiddly.
    3. 3) Online tools work, but they upload your files to a server — not ideal for anything personal/financial.

    I use a browser tool that merges on the device itself so the PDFs never get uploaded (privacy angle matters on bank/letters etc): pdfmergefiles.com

    Whatever you pick, keep a copy of the originals until you've checked page order.
