Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Are my merged PDF files saved or tracked on your server?

Never. PDFDock has no backend server or storage database for user files. PDF merging happens inside your web browser's RAM.

Q.Can I merge password-protected PDF files?

Protected PDFs must be unlocked before merging. You can enter the password in PDFDock to decrypt and combine encrypted documents.

Q.Will merging PDFs distort vector graphics or font formatting?

No. PDFDock performs structural stream copying, preserving exact vector paths, embedded fonts, layers, and color profiles.

Q.How many PDF files can I merge at once?

There are no arbitrary software limits. You can combine as many files as your device's available memory can process.

Q.Why is PDFDock faster than cloud PDF mergers?

Cloud utilities require uploading gigabytes of data over your connection before processing starts. PDFDock executes locally on your hardware, eliminating upload and download bottlenecks.

Q.Is PDFDock free to use for commercial projects?

Yes. PDFDock is 100% free for personal, commercial, academic, and enterprise usage without subscription fees.
