GENERAL USER
Using the SmartVault Connected Desktop, you can combine multiple PDFs into a single document. Merging existing PDFs stored in SmartVault lets you keep related documents together in one file.
How to Combine PDFs in the Connected Desktop
- Open the Connected Desktop and navigate to the PDF you want to use as the main document.
- Right-click on the PDF and select Edit to open it in the Scan Document window.
- In the Scan Document window, go to Add Existing Files and click Browse.
- Navigate to your SmartVault Mapped Drive. If you haven’t mapped your SmartVault Drive yet, see our guide on adding the SmartVault Mapped Drive to set it up.
Tip
The Mapped Drive contains all files in SmartVault, so you can easily browse and select multiple files across folders.
-
Select the PDF files you want to combine. Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard to select more than one PDF while clicking on each file.
- Click Open to add the selected files to the main PDF. Your newly added pages will appear at the end of the PDF.
- Reorder the pages as needed by dragging them within the Scan Document window.
- When finished, click Save. The combined PDF will be saved back into SmartVault.
Note
You can also drag and drop additional files, such as PDFs, PNGs, or JPGs, directly into the Scan Document window.
