Deciding whether to merge or split PDF files

Merge PDFs when readers need one ordered packet; split them when different people need distinct sections or a large file is hard to navigate. Decide from the reader's task before using PDF Merge or PDF Split.

After export, check every output file's page order, first and last page, links, readable text, and confidential sections. Give each file a descriptive name and keep the original documents until recipients confirm the result works.
