Step-by-step instructions

Collect the source PDFs first and rename them in the final order before you begin.

Run the workflow once, check the output pages, then keep the original files unchanged for traceability.

  • Open the relevant Plain tool in your browser
  • Select the files or page ranges you need
  • Process the document and download the result
  • Confirm readability, page order, and file size before sharing

Why local processing matters

When you process documents locally, file contents are not transferred to a third-party processing service.

For sensitive paperwork, this reduces avoidable transfer exposure and supports a cleaner compliance posture.

Quality checks before sending

Open the output in a separate PDF viewer and check first page, last page, and any critical attachment pages.

If the file is being uploaded to a portal, verify the accepted size and naming format before final upload.

When to repeat the workflow

Repeat the process when source documents change or when portal limits are updated.

Keep a simple processing note with date and version if the document is part of a recurring submission routine.
