MakePDF: Document Merger 2.0

MakePDF is a versatile tool designed for efficient PDF creation through merging multiple files into a single document. Its user interface allows for quick selection or dragging and dropping of various document types, streamlining the workflow.

The application supports an extensive range of file formats, including:

• Plain text files
• Source code files, which are rendered with line numbers for clarity
• HTML files
• Images and photographs
• Word and Pages documents (available on macOS)
• PowerPoint and Keynote presentations (available on macOS)
• Excel and Numbers spreadsheets (available on macOS)
• And of course, PDF files

On macOS, MakePDF leverages Apple Events to automate native applications relevant to each file format. This integration helps ensure the output PDFs maintain high quality and fidelity.

The design of MakePDF emphasizes speed and ease of use. When multiple files or folders are selected or dropped, the application automatically sorts them alphabetically. Its SmartPath technology attempts to intelligently predict the output filename and save location, further simplifying the process. Additionally, users can print entire documents directly from within MakePDF.

The software incorporates advanced features such as support for multiple windows, keyboard shortcuts, Quick Actions, and automation capabilities through Shortcuts. Compatibility extends across macOS, iOS, and iPadOS platforms.

Notes:

• On macOS, MakePDF can automate native apps like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, as well as Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Preview to optimize PDF quality.
• Automation via Shortcuts is supported on iOS and iPadOS devices.

Throughout its operation, MakePDF prioritizes user privacy by performing all processes locally within the device, without transmitting or storing data outside the secure app sandbox environment.
