Preview comes pre-installed on every Mac and makes it easy to merge multiple PDF files on mac without installing extra software.
How to combine PDF files into one on Mac with Preview:
1. Open the first PDF in Preview.
2. Click View > Thumbnails.
3. Drag the second PDF into the thumbnail sidebar.
4. Arrange the pages as needed.
5. Click File > Export as PDF to save the combined file.
Pros:
- Completely free
- No additional software required
- Quick for small PDF files
Cons:
- Limited editing features
- Can be slow with very large PDFs
