How can I combine two PDF documents into one quickly?

I have two separate PDF reports that I need to merge together before a meeting in an hour. My work laptop won’t let me install new software, so is there a fast way to join them?

Honestly, quickest no-install route is Word: open each PDF in Word (it converts them), copy one into the other, then save as a new PDF. Formatting can shift a bit, but for plain reports it’s usually fine. If a colleague has full Acrobat, they can merge them in seconds too.

I ran into this at our clinic because our computer is locked down. What works best for me is using pdfcap.com in the web browser, since it does not need installing.

  1. Go to pdfcap.com and pick the merge option.
  2. Drop your two files in.
  3. Click merge and download the single file.
