How to merge, split and reorder PDF pages
Overtype merges several PDFs into one, splits one into separate files, and lets you insert, delete and reorder pages. Everything happens in your browser, so no part of the document is uploaded.
Page management is the unglamorous half of PDF work: an application that must be submitted as a single file, a signed page that has to replace an unsigned one, a scan that came out in the wrong order.
None of it should require an account or an upload, and in Overtype it does not.
Step by step in Overtype
1. Merge several PDFs
Open Overtype and merge the files into one document in the order you want them.
2. Split a document
Split a PDF into separate files when a recipient needs only one section, or when a portal enforces a per-file size limit.
3. Insert, delete and reorder
Insert or delete pages to drop a duplicate cover sheet or slot a signed page into the right position.
4. Make the pages consistent
Crop away scanner borders and resize pages to Letter or A4 so a merged bundle prints uniformly. Add page numbers if the combined document needs them.
5. Export
Save the finished document — or documents, after a split — to your computer.
Why this works on your device
Merging normally means uploading every file you want combined, which multiplies the exposure rather than adding to it. Overtype assembles the document inside your browser, so a bundle of contracts, invoices and ID scans is put together on your own machine and downloaded straight from it.
Questions
- Can I merge more than two PDFs?
- Yes. Merge as many files as you need into a single document, in the order you choose.
- Can I make the merged pages the same size?
- Yes. Resize pages to Letter or A4, and crop to remove uneven scanner borders.
- Can I add page numbers afterwards?
- Yes. Overtype can add page numbers, and a watermark if the bundle needs one.
