How to merge assignment scans into one PDF in the right order
By the Fusion Office team · Updated
Quick answer
Scan every page with Scan to PDF in page order, or turn existing photos into a PDF with JPG to PDF. Fix any page that's out of place or sideways in Organize PDF, then shrink the file with Compress PDF so it uploads to Google Classroom, Moodle or your college portal.
Scan the pages
- 1Number your pages in the corner before scanning, so the order is easy to check.
- 2Open Scan to PDF, and capture each page flat, in order, in daylight.
- 3Check the thumbnails, retake blurry pages, and build the PDF.
If you already took photos with your camera, add them to JPG to PDF instead and arrange them with the arrows.
Fix order, rotation and size
- 1Open Organize PDF to drag misplaced pages into order and rotate sideways ones.
- 2If you scanned in two sessions, combine the PDFs first with Merge PDF.
- 3Shrink the file with Compress PDF. For pen on white paper, Grayscale images keeps it small and clear.
- 4Name it as your teacher asks, for example “RollNo-Name-Assignment3.pdf”.
A cover page typed in the Word editor and converted to PDF can be added at the front with Organize PDF's Add pages.
Before you submit
- Flip through the PDF once: every page present, upright and readable.
- Check the portal's size limit; most accept 10 MB or more, but some college portals ask for 2 MB.
- Keep the original photos until the assignment is graded.
