I need to merge a few PDF files into one document, but I’m on my Android phone and my storage is almost full, so I really can’t add another app. Is there any way to do this without installing anything?
That’s annoying when storage is tight. I use a browser-based PDF merger on my phone, upload the files, put them in order, then download the combined copy and delete it afterwards. Just avoid uploading anything sensitive unless the service clearly explains its privacy and deletion policy.
Had the same thing last month on a job. I just used Chrome to open ILovePDF and merged a few reports right in the browser. No extra app needed so storage was not an issue. It was fine for my files but I’m not sure about really large ones.
I have not found a way to merge PDFs on a phone with nothing installed, and Drive or Files won’t do it for you. What I do now is email the files to myself and use a computer at the library, then save the finished copy. If it is only for signing, keeping them as separate files usually works fine anyway.
I run into storage limits on my work phone all the time when sorting out site contracts. The easiest way is to open your mobile browser and go to pdfcap.com. You just upload your files there, hit merge, and download the combined document straight back to your Android. Did that sort it out for you?
