Merge Google Drive Files into One PDF with a Cover Page
A cover page turns a merged PDF from a document bundle into a professional deliverable. Create one Doc for the cover, place it first in the merge, and every recipient sees your name, their name, and the document title before anything else.
Creating a cover page Doc
Create a new Google Doc. Add the document title, the recipient name, the date, and your contact information. Style it with your brand colors and fonts if you have them. Keep it to one page. Name the file clearly, like 'Cover Page - Project Name', so it is easy to identify in the merge list.
Positioning the cover page
In the extension's merge mode, drag the cover page Doc to the top of the list. It will become the first page of the combined PDF. The main documents follow in your chosen order.
Reusing cover pages
Keep a cover page template in Drive. Before each merge, make a copy, update the client name and date, and include the updated copy in the merge. This takes under a minute and gives every deliverable a personalized cover.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a Google Slides cover page instead of a Doc?
Yes. A single-slide presentation can serve as a cover page. It produces a landscape page, which is a design choice you can make intentionally for visual effect.
