How to merge bank statements, invoices and receipts into one PDF for your CA
By the Fusion Office team · Updated
Quick answer
Unlock any password-protected statements, then combine everything in a sensible order with Merge PDF: statements by month, then invoices, then receipts. Add page numbers, compress the result, and protect it with a password before you email it. Your CA gets one tidy file instead of thirty attachments.
Get everything into PDF
- Remove passwords from bank and card statements with Unlock PDF, since Merge PDF needs unlocked files. Formats are covered in Bank statement PDF password.
- Turn photos of bills and receipts into PDFs with JPG to PDF, several to a file.
- Download Form 16, AIS and other tax PDFs from their portals.
Merge and finish
- 1Open Merge PDF and add all the files.
- 2Order them: bank statements by month, credit card statements, sales invoices, purchase bills, receipts, tax forms.
- 3Press Merge PDF and download.
- 4Add page numbers with Add page numbers so you can say “see page 37”.
- 5Shrink it for email with Compress PDF.
- 6Add a password with Protect PDF, and send the password by phone or a separate message.
Merging, numbering, compressing and protecting all run in your browser: your financial documents aren't uploaded.
Tips your CA will appreciate
- One file per financial year, or per quarter if it gets very large.
- A first page listing what's inside, typed in the Word editor and converted to PDF.
- No duplicates: remove repeated pages with Organize PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a limit on how many files I can merge?
No fixed limit: it depends on your device's memory, since merging happens in your browser.
Should I send Excel files too?
If your CA prefers spreadsheets, convert statements with PDF to Excel and send those alongside the PDF.
