# How to merge PDF files in SharePoint

[Nutrient Document Editor for SharePoint](https://www.nutrient.io/low-code/try/?product=document-editor&platform=sharepoint&deployment=online) streamlines merging multiple PDFs into a single document, whether you’re working in SharePoint Online or on-premises. This tool is perfect for creating organized, consolidated PDFs for reports, contracts, and other workflows.

With the Document Editor, you can:

- Combine PDFs into a single file.

- Reorganize, delete, or add pages using the drag-and-drop functionality.

## Methods to merge PDFs in SharePoint

You can merge PDFs in two ways with Nutrient Document Editor for SharePoint:

- Import a PDF from your computer.

- Import a PDF directly from SharePoint.

## Prerequisites

Before you start merging PDFs in SharePoint using Nutrient Document Editor, ensure the following:

- Nutrient Document Editor for SharePoint is [installed](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/document-editor/about/installation-guides.md) and configured within your SharePoint environment.

- You have the necessary permissions to access and edit documents in the desired SharePoint libraries.

## Access the PDF editor

Go to the SharePoint library and click **Upload** to import a PDF from your computer, or select an existing PDF from the library.

## Open a PDF in SharePoint

If you’re using a [file handler](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/document-editor/about/installation-guides/file-handler.md) installation, click **Open** from the dropdown and choose **Open in PDF Editor**. Otherwise, if you’re using other installations such as an [online extension](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/document-editor/about/installation-guides/online-extension.md) or [web part](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/document-editor/about/installation-guides/web-part.md), click **Open** from the dropdown and choose **Edit in Nutrient Editor**.![Open PDFs in SharePoint](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-editor/sharepoint/open-pdf-in-sharepoint.png)

## How to merge PDF files

To merge PDF files, follow the steps below:

- In the top-right toolbar, next to the magnifying glass icon, click the dropdown arrow and select **Document Editor**.

- Select **Import Document** to add a PDF from your computer. The PDF will be imported within the existing PDF in SharePoint.

- To finalize the merge, click **Save as** to merge the two PDFs into one and save on your computer. If you don’t want to save a merged PDF in SharePoint Online, click **Cancel** in the bottom-left corner. Alternatively, when you click **Save**, the added PDF will be merged into the existing one, and the next time you open a PDF, it’ll contain all the pages from the added document. If you want to merge PDFs in SharePoint, it’s more convenient to choose the second option, which is also accessible through **Document Editor**:
  - Click the three dots in the top-right corner.
  - Choose the **Import from SharePoint** option.
  - Select the PDF file you want to merge and click **Open**.
    The merged PDF document will automatically open in Document Editor.![Combine PDF files](@/assets/guides/muhimbi/pdf-editor/sharepoint/merge-pdf-files.png)
