Back up important PDFs and verify the completed result, rather than assuming an operation succeeded because the application closed its progress indicator.
Step-by-step instructions
- Confirm each scanned file opens correctly and pages are oriented.
- Add scanned PDFs to PDFsam Basic Merge.
- Reorder the documents or rotate inputs first where necessary.
- Run Merge and inspect file size, legibility and sequence.

For the task merge scanned pdf documents offline, start with a duplicate of a small, nonconfidential PDF.

Important checks and limitations
If you need to change the words inside a PDF page, add OCR, or compress scanned image data, do not assume those features exist in PDFsam Basic. Compare the separate Visual and Enhanced editions before selecting a product.
