Merge PDF for Job Applications in India — Size Limits & Mobile

Merge PDF for SSC/bank/job portals in India: page order, 2–5 MB limits, mobile compression, and why you should not email OTP to “PDF helpers”.

Order before you merge

Application form, photo/sign if required, education proofs, caste/EWS, experience — in the notice’s order. A merged file that is 12 MB will still fail; compress after merge.

Typical portal limits

Many Indian government forms cap 2 MB or 5 MB. Flatten scans at 150–200 DPI. Preview on phone before you sit at a cyber café.

Privacy

Do not upload Aadhaar to random Telegram “PDF bots”. Prefer a tool you control. ContentVerse merge/compress is a utility — still avoid putting secrets in filenames.

Frequently asked questions

Photo size vs PDF size?

Photo has its own KB limit; PDF is separate. Read both.

Password-protected merge?

Unlock first; portals often reject locked files.
