Merging and Trimming PDFs

This guide will instruct you on how to merge multiple PDFs into one and how to trim pages from PDFs.

Merging PDFs

To merge multiple PDFs into one using E-Ring Binder, first add the PDFs you would like to merge into your binder. See “Adding Documents” for more information.

Then, select the documents you would like to merge from the Navigation list. Right click your selection, and click “Print/Export Documents” from the drop-down list. In the Print/Export window:

  • Ensure you have the proper documents selected.

  • Under “Export Format,” select “Combined PDF.”

  • Under “Export Preferences,” deselect the options for “Include Table of Contents,” “Include Cover Pages,” and “Include Keyword Index” (if they appear).

Press submit and the combined PDF will display in a new window. You will see an option to download/save or print the newly combined PDF in the top right of that window. See “Printing and Exporting” for more information.

To work with this combined PDF in E-Ring Binder, simply re-upload it as a new document.

Trimming PDFs

To trim pages from a PDF using E-Ring Binder, first add the PDF into your binder. See “Adding Documents” for more information.

Right click on the document in the Navigation list, and select “Create New Copy.” In the “Copy Document(s)” window, under the “Pages to Copy” section, change your selection from “All” to “Pages” and enter the page numbers that you wish to keep. Press submit, and a new document will be generated that keeps only the selected pages. See “Copying Documents” for more information.

Right click on the new copy, and select “Print/Export Document.” In the Print/Export window:

  • Ensure you have the proper document selected.

  • Under “Export Format,” select “Combined PDF.”

  • Under “Export Preferences,” deselect the options for “Include Table of Contents,” “Include Cover Pages,” and “Include Keyword Index” (if they appear).

Press submit and the trimmed PDF will display in a new window. You will see an option to download/save or print the trimmed PDF in the top right of that window. See “Printing and Exporting” for more information.
