Good to know
Good to know
Place text at one or more positions on PDF pages. Labels become searchable text in a new PDF file.
After merging documents, PDF Merge can pass each source file’s first page as a suggestion. Review every page, label and position before applying.
Typical use cases
Mark document sections
Add labels such as “Appendix A” or “Invoice” to selected page starts to make sections in a long PDF easier to find.
Label pages after merging
Use start-page suggestions from PDF Merge, then adjust the text and placement before creating the new file.
Tips for better results
Check placement in the preview
Review each labeled page in the preview to keep text within the page and away from important content.
Use clear labels
Use short, clear labels. The original remains unchanged and the tool creates a separate PDF.
