The simplest method
Open ToolCrix Merge PDF in Safari, choose multiple documents from Files, arrange them in order, and tap Merge & Download. The new PDF saves to your iPhone without uploading the originals.
When this method makes sense
This works well for joining scans, tickets, forms, or application documents already stored in Files or iCloud Drive. No third-party iOS app or account is needed.
