Multi-page PDF

How to scan multiple pages into one PDF on Android

A contract, a tax return or a school form is several pages, and the person asking for it wants one file. Here is how to scan them as one PDF, and add or reorder pages later.

One document, one file

Sending page 1.jpg, page 2.jpg and page 3.jpg makes the reader do the work. A single multi-page PDF keeps the pages together and in order.

In Filetray a document is that one PDF. Every page you scan in one session lands in it, and you can come back later to add the page you forgot, put a page in the right place, or drop a blurry one.

A folder in Filetray: each document is one PDF, with its page count under the title.

Removing the last page deletes the document. Filetray asks first: “This is the last page. Removing it deletes the document.”

Already have the pages as separate PDFs?

Filetray builds a PDF from pages you scan or pick from photos. If the pages are already PDF files on your phone, joining them is a job for a PDF tool: see combine scanned pages into one PDF or merge PDF files on Android with ViaPDF.

Multiple pages, one PDF: questions

Is there a page limit?

One scanning session takes up to 100 pages. You can add more pages to the same document afterwards with Scan more pages or Add pages from photos.

Does a document with many pages count as more than one?

No. The free library counts documents, not pages: a 12-page contract is one of your 5 free documents.

Can I add photos from my gallery as pages?

Yes. Inside a document, tap Pages, then Add pages from photos, and pick the pictures in order.
