Open Merge PDFSeparate by document type
Keep quotes, invoices, receipts, delivery notes, and purchase orders in separate folders or clearly named subfolders. These documents answer different questions and should not be mixed in one vague folder.
A quote records a proposed price. An invoice requests payment. A receipt confirms payment. A delivery note records goods delivered.
Use dates and numbers
A useful filename includes date, client or supplier, document type, and number. Example: 2026-09-ClientName-Invoice-INV-014.pdf.
Consistent numbering makes it easier to find missing payments, respond to clients, and match related files later.
When to merge PDFs
Merge PDFs only when related files must be sent together, such as an invoice plus supporting receipts. Do not merge unrelated client files just to reduce the number of documents.
Open the merged PDF before sending and check page order.
FAQ
Should quotes and invoices share a numbering system?
It is usually clearer to use separate prefixes, such as QUO for quotes and INV for invoices.
