Welcome!
This guide will help you use our PDF Stitcher & Fax Tool to combine multiple PDF documents and send them via fax. The process is simple and takes just a few minutes.
Getting Started
What You'll Need:
- ✅ A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)
- ✅ PDF files on your computer
- ✅ An email client for faxing
- ✅ The recipient's 10-digit fax number (if faxing)
Step 1: Adding PDF Files
You have two ways to add PDFs:
- Drag and Drop: Simply drag files from your computer onto the dashed box
- Click to Browse: Click the box to open a file browser and select PDFs
💡 Tip: You can select multiple files at once by holding Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) while clicking.
Step 2: Organizing Your PDFs
Reordering Files:
- Click and hold the ☰ icon next to any PDF
- Drag it up or down to change its position
- Release to drop it in the new location
Removing Files:
- Click "Remove" on individual files to delete them
- Click "Clear All" to start over completely
Step 3: Stitching PDFs Together
- Review your file order one last time
- Click the orange "Stitch PDFs" button
- Wait for processing (usually just a few seconds)
- Your combined PDF will automatically download
📁 Note: The combined PDF will be saved as "stitched_document.pdf" in your Downloads folder.
Step 4: Sending a Fax (Optional)
After stitching, you'll see an option to fax your document:
- Click "Fax This Form"
- Enter the 10-digit fax number (no dashes or spaces)
- Add an optional subject line
- Click "Send Fax"
- Your email client will open with the fax details
- Important: Manually attach the downloaded PDF to the email
- Send the email to complete the fax
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- PDFs won't upload: Make sure files are valid PDFs and not password-protected
- Can't reorder files: Click and hold the ☰ icon firmly before dragging
- Email doesn't open: Check your default email settings or popup blocker
- Fax number error: Enter exactly 10 digits with no spaces or symbols
Best Practices
- 📏 Keep total file size under 100MB for best performance
- 📝 Name your files clearly before uploading
- 🔍 Double-check the order before stitching
- 📠 Verify fax numbers with recipients beforehand
- 💾 Save a copy of the stitched PDF for your records
🔒 Privacy Note: All processing happens in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server, ensuring your documents remain completely private.
