Merging PDF documents stored in GoFileRoom

Show expandable text

You can merge from two to 12 Adobe Acrobat PDF documents within GoFileRoom.

Before you start

  • You must have permissions for viewing and editing within the related drawer prior to merging PDF documents.
  • Digital signatures are removed during the merge process.
  • When you merge GoFileRoom documents, a new document is created and the two source documents are deleted. However, all previous GoFileRoom annotations from both source documents are retained.
  • You can only merge PDF documents created by Adobe Acrobat.

Merge PDF documents

  1. Perform a search to locate the documents you want to merge.
  2. In the Search Results screen, tick the checkboxes for the PDF documents you want to merge.
  3. Right-click and choose Merge PDFs from the context menu.
  4. In the Merge Documents screen that opens, verify the order of the PDFs. The document at the top of the list will appear first in the merged document. In addition, the merged document will use the index values of the document that appears first. You can modify the document order using the up and down arrow buttons to the left of the client name for each document.
  5. Select OK to confirm that you want to proceed with the merge.
  6. Select OK when notified that the documents are being merged.

Notes

  • If you select any non-PDF document or a single PDF document, merge will not be available in the right-click menu.
  • The merging process may take several minutes.
  • If a merge fails, the source documents will not be deleted. For example, if a PDF is password protected, the server-side components cannot open it for processing.
