Merge PDF for exhibits: numbering, tabs, and bundle hygiene

Published

How teams assemble multi-file submissions—consistent naming, exhibit order, and why merge-first beats shuffle-later.

Legal and procurement bundles often ship as one PDF per exhibit. Recipients expect exhibit tabs to match an index table. Merging in the wrong sequence breaks references (“see Exhibit C”) and wastes rework.

Name files before upload

Use stable prefixes: Ex01_cover.pdf, Ex02_terms.pdf. Numeric sorting then matches human intuition.

One pass merge

Concatenate once in final order; avoid merging partially then inserting pages manually unless you track versions tightly.
