PDF Merge for Assignments & Reports | Rune

Students frequently need to combine multiple PDFs for assignments, reports, and submissions. Whether it's adding a cover page, appending references, or combining group contributions, PDF merging is an essential skill.

Common Student Merge Scenarios

Adding Cover Pages

Your professor requires a specific cover page format. Create it separately, then merge with your content.

Group Projects

Team members submit their sections as separate files. Merge them into one cohesive document.

Appendices and References

Main report + charts + data tables + bibliography = one complete submission.

Portfolio Submissions

Combine multiple assignments into a semester portfolio.

Step-by-Step for Students

1. Finalize all documents: Proofread and format each PDF.
2. Open Rune's PDF Merge.
3. Upload files: Drag all PDFs to the upload area.
4. Arrange in order:
   • Cover page first
   • Table of contents
   • Main content
   • Appendices last
5. Enable compression if there's a file size limit.
6. Merge and download.
7. Verify the final file before submission.

Assignment Submission Tips
