Merge documents or pages by dragging and dropping

You can merge one or multi-files into an existing opened file.

1. Inside Foxit PDF Editor, open a PDF document that you want to merge other files into,  open Pages navigation panel.

2. Browse your folder to locate a file or files, drag and drop them into the navigation panel.
   Note: the file type could be any supported files as listed below.

You can also merge only part of pages in an opened PDF document into  other opened PDF document. Here are procedures.

1. In the current opened document, for example say a.pdf,  open Pages navigation panel. 

2. Open the other PDF document where you want to extract pages from. Open Pages navigation panel,  click to select a page or press "ctrl+ mouse click" to select multi-pages, drag and move your cursor to the tab name as a.pdf that you want to merge pages into (hold your mouse). You will notice your current tab is automatically switched to a.pdf. 

3. Now, you are in the a.pdf document screen, move your cursor to the navigation panel, locate a position and release your mouse. 

Tips:When your mouse is hovering over the pages down or up in the navigation panel, the pages will scroll down or up so that you can locate a desired place to drop your extracted pages. 

Note:

"Merge documents/pages" feature in Foxit PDF Editor supports fewer document formats than "create PDF files" feature in Foxit PDF Editor.
When you create PDF files from File tab>Create>From File within Foxit PDF Editor,you will find that it supports the following document formats:

Compare with "Create PDF files" feature,the "Merge documents/pages" feature doesn't support the following document formats:
XPS(.xps);
Hancom Office HandWord (.*hwp),
Micrsoft Office Outlook(*.msg)
So when you drag and drop one of the above referred unsupported format documents into navigation panel in Foxit PDF Editor,it won't be inserted into the currently opened PDF document,but it will be converted and opened as a new PDF file in Foxit PDF Editor.
For the mentioned unsupported format document,you have to convert it into PDF file firstly before you could merge its converted PDF format document into other PDF file.
