Merge PDFs in Google Drive in Order
The order of PDFs in a merged document is as important as the content. Setting it correctly before merging saves you from having to redo the operation.
Setting order in the extension panel
After selecting files and opening the extension in merge mode, you see each PDF listed by filename. Drag items up or down to set the final page sequence. The top file becomes the first pages of the merged output.
Naming files for automatic ordering
If you name your PDFs with a number prefix (01_cover.pdf, 02_report.pdf, 03_appendix.pdf), they appear in alphabetical order in Drive, which corresponds to the correct merge order. This reduces the need to reorder in the extension panel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I preview the merged order before finalizing?
The extension shows the file list in merge order before you click Merge. You can adjust the order there before committing.
