Merge Receipts/Invoices for Reimbursement — Multi‑Format, Sorting, Rotation, Compression

Reimbursement headaches are common: mixed sources (PDF/images/Office), wrong order, mixed orientations, and file size caps. Use this end‑to‑end path from organizing to submission.

One‑stop merge: from zero to submission

1. Open Merge PDF
2. Drag & drop all receipts (supports PDF, JPG/PNG/HEIC, Word/Excel, etc.)
3. Reorder via thumbnails; batch‑select sideways pages and Rotate
4. Delete duplicates/blank pages: Remove Pages
5. Click “Merge and Download”

Size caps and layout norms

1) Size control (typical caps: 2MB/5MB/10MB/20MB)

• Use Compress PDF; start with “Balanced/Clear Priority”, then “Strong Compression” for tighter caps.
• For text‑heavy, B/W receipts, try Black & White first, then compress for a smaller, stable result.

2) Layout norms (easier for review/printing)

• Unify page sizes to A4/Letter: Resize Pages
• Keep the order “cover/summary → line items → attachments”. Consider adding a cover page (submitter, project, total amount, count).

FAQ

Q: How do I merge images with PDFs together?
A: Upload them together in Merge PDF; or convert images via Images to PDF first, then merge.

Q: The merged file is too big to upload — now what?
A: Use Compress. If still too large, try Black & White or Resize Pages before compressing again.

Q: Can I auto‑sort by date/amount?
A: Currently drag‑and‑drop is the main method. As a tip, name files with a “date‑amount‑merchant” prefix for clearer ordering.

Q: Scans are sideways or have wide margins?
A: Use Organize Pages to batch rotate and remove blank pages; crop at the source if necessary.
