Example
Example: a substitute folder from three files, in teaching order
Tomorrow’s substitute needs one file: sub-plans.pdf (2 pages, from Word), seating-chart.pdf (1 page) and fractions-worksheet.pdf (3 pages). They are dropped in that order, plans on top.
- Every page of each file is copied whole, in the order the files are listed, so the plans come first and the worksheet last.
- The merged file takes the first file’s name: sub-plans-merged.pdf.
- Three files is the free plan’s limit for one run; for a fourth, merge the result with it in a second run.
| Pages of sub-plans-merged.pdf | From |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | sub-plans.pdf |
| 3 | seating-chart.pdf |
| 4–6 | fractions-worksheet.pdf |
One 6-page PDF to print or leave on the class portal, the seating chart never uploaded anywhere on the way. Add page numbers afterwards so the substitute can say “turn to page 4”.
How it works
- Drop every file for the lesson: worksheets exported from Word, scanned pages, slides saved as PDF.
- Drag them into teaching order. The first file becomes the first pages, so put the cover or instructions on top.
- Press Merge pack. Merging a 30-page pack takes about a second on a school laptop.
- Download once and upload the single file to the class portal, or send it to the copier.
Frequently asked questions
- Is student work uploaded to your servers?
- No. Scanned homework, marked tests and class lists never leave your computer; the pages are combined by your browser. That keeps you on the right side of school data-protection rules without asking anyone.
- Can I add page numbers to the pack?
- Yes. Merge first, then run the result through Add page numbers so students can find the page you mention.
- The scans are sideways.
- Merge as they are, then use Rotate PDF on the pages that need it, or rotate before merging. Rotation is saved into the file, so the copier prints it correctly.
- The pack is too big for the portal.
- Run it through Compress PDF. Scanned pages shrink a lot; typed worksheets are already small.
- What will the merged file be called?
- After the first file in the list, with -merged added: put sub-plans.pdf first and you get sub-plans-merged.pdf. Every page keeps its own size and orientation, so a Letter worksheet and an A4 scan stay as they were.
- How do I merge more than three files on the free plan?
- Merge three, then drop the merged file with up to two more and run it again; the pages keep their order each time. Each run counts toward the 5 a day.
- Is there a limit for large classes?
- The free plan merges 3 files per run and 20 MB per file. Pro removes the limits, which matters when you combine a whole term's worth of scans.
