What are PPT files?

PPT files or also known as PowerPoint files is a file that is made for presentations. It can be filled with photos, designed colorfully per slide or simply have text in bullet points. It was first recognized when Microsoft introduced this program to make it easy for users to create presentations for office and school.

These files are usually with a .DOC end title to its files and can have format text, images, tables, graphs, charts, and print settings.

What does merge and combine mean?

Merge is the process of combining two things. In PDF files, it is adding pages in your existing PDF. Combining PDF means putting together two or more files and making it into one PDF. In context, these two are synonymous and therefore have the same purpose.

How does merge and combine differ?

Actually, both terms are similar and can be interchanged. When you merge, you also combine.

On the other hand, when using Combine & Reorder, multiple files can also be uploaded however it is added one by one. In the preview, the files can also be arranged according to your preferred order but the big difference here is that the pages can be separated, interchanged and reorganized with all the other pages of the other files.
