Build a Clean PDF Workflow for Forms, Receipts, and Reports
Assemble forms, receipts, and reports into a checked PDF packet, with source preparation, page ordering, and optional OCR or compression.

Prepare each source
For photographed receipts, crop unnecessary background and correct perspective before placing the image in PDF. For an existing PDF report, check orientation and identify any unwanted pages. Keep the sources in their original formats.
Build the packet in order
Convert image pages to PDF, then add PDFs to the merge operation in the order the reader needs. Check the join between documents: repeated cover pages and a missing final receipt are easy to overlook.
Add only the finishing step you need
If the packet must be searchable, test OCR on a representative scan and proofread its text layer. If the destination imposes a file limit, compress the reviewed packet and recheck the smallest print. Merging alone adds neither OCR nor a guaranteed size reduction.
