Siri Shortcut

Merge PDFs from Files

Combine scattered PDFs — scans, forms, statements — into one document without opening a single app.

What it does

Every PDF worth sending eventually needs a companion — a cover letter ahead of a resume, a signature page after a contract, three months of scanned statements a loan officer wants as one file. This shortcut skips the usual detour through a PDF editor. Pick two or more PDFs in Files, run Filemorph's Merge PDFs action, and get back a single document in the order you selected them, saved wherever you choose. Because the merge happens with PDFKit on the phone itself, nothing about a bank statement or ID scan is sent anywhere to combine it — the same on-device handling Filemorph uses for a single page. Attach the shortcut to the Files share sheet and merging becomes a long-press instead of an app switch.

FAQ

Do the PDFs get uploaded to merge them?

No. Merge PDFs combines the files locally using PDFKit; the shortcut works offline, including with sensitive documents like statements or IDs.

How many PDFs can I merge, and is it free?

Merge PDFs is a Filemorph Pro feature ($29.99/year, 7-day trial) and accepts two or more files per run; there is no fixed limit on file count.
