How to Check a Merged PDF Before Sending It

Use this 5-point pre-flight checklist to verify bookmarks, page numbering, rotation consistency, and file size before emailing a combined PDF.

Quick Summary

Before sending a merged PDF, verify: 1) Sequential page order is correct, 2) All scans are rotated right-side up, 3) Total file size is under email and portal limits (e.g. under 10 MB for email, under 200 KB for portals), 4) Text remains selectable and sharp, and 5) Sensitive confidential sheets were deleted.

The 5-Point Merged PDF Pre-Flight Checklist

  1. Sequence Verification: Scroll from page 1 to the end to confirm attachments, exhibits, and signatures follow their referenced order.
  2. Orientation Check: Ensure no landscape tables or mobile phone scans are sideways. Fix with Rotate PDF.
  3. Payload Size Inspection: Check the file size in MB. If it exceeds 10 MB, shrink it using Compress PDF.
  4. Readability & Zoom Test: Zoom in to 150% on signature blocks and fine print to confirm sharpness.
  5. Privacy Audit: Double check that draft revision notes or unrelated tax forms were removed with Delete PDF Pages.
