Before merging, compare the visible source rows and their page counts with your intended sequence. After merging, read the result file count, total page count, and exact byte size. These measurements prove what the current run produced, but they do not prove semantic completeness or destination acceptance.
Use a destination-specific checklist
Check the first and last page of each source boundary, rotations, crop boxes, hyperlinks, annotations, form controls, reading order, fonts, and visual rendering. If a workflow depends on signatures, archival profiles, legal filing, identity evidence, accessibility certification, or another regulated requirement, use a reviewed specialist workflow instead.
Inspect the downloaded PDF
Open the exact downloaded file in the reader used by its destination. Confirm the complete page sequence, page count, visible content, links, annotations, form behavior, accessibility, and any destination-specific requirements. Keep the sources: a successful page copy is not a certification that every PDF feature was preserved.
