Managing projects with dozens of PDFs can quickly get out of hand. Flipping between files, losing track of versions, or piecing together feedback wastes time and creates confusion.
With Drawboard PDF, you can merge multiple PDFs into one clean, organized document using the built-in Doc Builder.
It’s fast, visual, and doesn’t require switching between apps, so you stay focused on your work, not your file management.
No matter how you intend to use it, Drawboard’s Doc Builder makes file management easy.
Follow these steps to merge your pages and PDFs into organized files.
In Drawboard PDF, click the Doc Builder icon in the top menu bar. This opens a dedicated workspace for merging and managing multiple files in one place.
The Doc Builder interface provides a visual workspace that makes it easy to see how your final document will come together. Each imported file appears as a thumbnail, giving you a clear overview of your materials before you begin arranging them.
Drag and drop files directly from your file explorer into the Doc Builder workspace, or click the "Add Files" button to browse for the documents you need. Drawboard displays a preview of each file, including its name and a unique color for quick identification, helping you confirm you've selected the right documents before proceeding.
For large document sets, take a moment to organize your files beforehand. Consider renaming them for clarity or sorting them in a logical sequence to make the merging process more efficient.
Files initially appear in the order you added them, but you can easily rearrange entire documents by dragging them to new positions. For page-level control, , expand any document by pressing ‘<>’ to see its individual pages as thumbnails, then drag specific pages to exactly where you need them within individual files or the project as a whole
When everything’s in place, take a final look to ensure your page order makes sense—especially where documents meet.
Click Build, and Drawboard PDF will merge your pages into a single document, preserving any existing markups, highlights, or annotations. For larger files, it may take a moment.
Combining PDFs is simple when everything happens in one intuitive workspace. With Doc Builder, Drawboard PDF gives you complete control to merge, organize, and finalize your documents—quickly and cleanly.
Try it now and take the busywork out of combining files. Or, learn more about how to make the most of Drawboard with our How-To guides.
