As computers become an integral part of our daily life, the stakes for the need to effectively manage storage space go higher than ever before. Besides playing games, watching movies, making college assignments or performing official tasks on their laptops and desktop computers, users are now increasingly making use of computers/ laptops to read what are known as e-books. These books have slowly but gradually started to replace the traditional “book” which we all know.
eBooks nowadays are often available as PDFs, and they are found in huge quantities on computers where users are addicted to reading.

Combine PDF Files
There are several methods that can easily help you merge any PDF files you want to. The 3 most common and easiest methods are:
- Use an Online Tool
There are several tools available online that can prove handy provided one of the PDF files involved in this operation isn’t larger than 50MB in size. Simply Google up your query and open the best result. Upload the PDF files and merge them. Now download the merged PDF to your computer and job over!
- Use a Local Tool
There will always be limitations coming into play while you’re attempting to merge PDF files online, like size, no of files, session’s duration etc. A more handy option can be to download a suitable software program, install it and then let it perform its magic. - Use Mac to Merge PDF Files
Mac has a unique method of merging PDF files. To do so:
- Open Finder and select the blue, face-like icon on Mac’s dock.
- Now add up the PDF files that you want to merge.
- Save them back by clicking Save as PDF button.
Delete Duplicate pages after a PDF has been merged
Now that you have merged the files, the question arises on how to delete any duplicate content? Let’s jump into the solutions to see how can you save up any storage space by merging duplicate PDF files.
- Compare Thumbnails
Launch your PDF file viewing software and opt for the thumbnail view. This view will make it a lot easier to spot any identical chunk of data. Once you’ve identified all the duplicate page(s), simply get rid of them. - Use a Duplicate Finder Software
Just like going for an automated solution is always preferred to a manual one nowadays, opting for a purpose-built software to weed out duplicate data is by far the best idea than scanning up data while solely relying on your naked eye. One such exceptional piece of coding that helps to weed out any duplicate data is Clone Files Checker.
The detailed procedure to engineer a scan is as follows:
-
- Download the software and execute the setup file to install it.
- Now launch Clone Files Checker and add up as many locations from Step 1 in which you suspect any duplicate data to be residing.
- Click Start Search and wait for the scan to be over.
- Once the scan is over, choose between Fix Wizard (a uniform course of action for all duplicates) and Review & Fix (a “case basis”) strategy.
- Next, choose whether you want to simply delete the duplicates or want to move them to the Recycle Bin. That’s it!
You’ve removed all the useless clutter for good. Keep scanning your PDF documents (and even other file types) on a regular basis to guard against any duplicates that might crop up.
