You are only a few clicks away from a flawless combined document! Here is how to merge PDF files in a folder with the help of the most multifaceted utility developed by CoolUtils.

Step 1. Choose the Source

Launch PDF Combiner to choose your folder for the merger.

Click the necessary folder in the file tree on the left to reveal its contents. You can preview each file with zoom options and rearrange the order.

Check the boxes individually next to the files, or click the "Check All" button at the bottom for convenience. Subfolders will be included in the merger if you click the corresponding button under the file list.

Step 2. Launch the Wizard

Click on the "Combine to PDF" button at the top of the file tree to set the parameters. This opens the wizard window, so you can fine-tune the output.

Step 3. Adjust the Parameters

Specify where you want to save the file (the tool will combine PDF documents to one folder) and choose any other desired options (aside from Destination, the sections include Bookmarks, Contents, Header, Footer, and Document). If you want to keep the folder structure, check the corresponding box.

Step 4. Launch the Merger!

After all the settings are ready, click "Start" to initiate the merger. This should only take a few seconds. Upon completion, you will find the combined document in your preferred location. Voila!

Note that the system may also be launched from the command line. This allows you to open it within other programs. The functionality and speed are the same. Any popular version of Windows is supported, from 2000 to 10.
