How to Make a Multi-Page PDF? A Step-by-Step Guide

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format developed by Adobe in 1992 to present documents, including text and images, in a way that is independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.

Therefore, many people prefer to use this file format to transfer important documents. Unlike single-page files with limited content, multi-page PDFs allow you to integrate a large amount of information into a single document.

Its key advantages are shown below.

• Simplified document management: A single file is easier to manage than multiple scattered documents, simplifying storage, searching, and retrieval.
• Efficient sharing: Sharing a multi-page PDF file via email or cloud storage is more convenient than sending multiple attachments.
• Simplified printing: Printing a single multi-page PDF file is faster and more economical than printing multiple separate documents.
