Batch processing
Process multiple merge jobs automatically to reduce manual effort when many packets require consolidation and distribution across teams.
Combining documents streamlines review, reduces signer confusion about multiple attachments, and simplifies record retention while preserving a single audit trail and integrity of the transaction.

They combine completed forms, ID scans, and contract exhibits into one PDF, add signature fields, and route the single document for eSignature to reduce tracking and ensure all pages are included in the final record.
A sales director or operations lead consolidates proposals, quotes, and standard terms into one executable package. They use a merged document to maintain version control, present a single contract to customers, and capture signatures on all required sections in one process.
