Build a report-and-evidence PDF pack with a document map
Give reviewers a main report, supporting evidence and an index that shows how the documents connect.
Open PDF Attachment Map →Follow these steps
- Add a main PDF first, then supporting PDFs. The first file is the main document.
- For each support, enter a section description and a page position in the main PDF. Use the move controls to arrange the pack.
- Press Create mapped PDF and Download PDF. Click the index document titles and main-section references to check their destinations.
Make evidence easy to trace
Place the report first. Add a receipt, chart or certificate as a supporting PDF, enter a short section description and choose the main-report page that cites it. Repeat for the remaining evidence. The generated index creates a route into the evidence and a route back to the relevant report page.
Check the actual pack
In the checked example, Alpha has six pages and Beta has one. The index adds one page, producing an eight-page pack. Alpha starts at pack page 2, Beta at pack page 8, and the reference to Alpha source page 2 opens pack page 3. The output page positions differ from the original-file positions because the index comes first.
Keep your workflow focused
Upload only the documents required for this task. Files are processed in this browser, and the original documents are not overwritten. Download the result before closing the tab. These dedicated workspaces do not automatically import unsaved changes from another PDF Studio tool.
If a document is protected, use Remove password with a password you know before opening it here. Large or complex pages can require substantial memory. The workspace accepts PDFs under 50 MB each, at most 12 files, and bounded page counts; split an unusually large document first.
A checked example you can try
Six Alpha pages plus one Beta page produced eight pages including the index. All three internal link destinations were checked.

PDF Attachment Map, in four moments
Main and support
Add a main PDF first, then supporting PDFs. The first file is the main document.
An illustrated walkthrough, not a processing test. Reduced motion is on; choose each moment manually.
Check the result
Reopen the downloaded PDF. Check page count, readable content and every clickable index destination.
Keep the original. When this task produces a file, reopen the download in the application where you will use it and inspect the affected pages. An illustration explains the operation; it is not a recorded processing test.
Practical tips
- Keep the originals and use a descriptive filename for the exported copy.
- In the checked example, Alpha has six pages and Beta has one. The index adds one page, producing an eight-page pack. Alpha starts at pack page 2, Beta at pack page 8, and the reference to Alpha source page 2 opens pack page 3. The output page positions differ from the original-file positions because the index comes first.
Questions
Will my original files change?
No. Download a separate result. The source files remain unchanged.
Do the files leave my device?
No document upload is used. PDF processing runs in your browser.
What should I check before sharing?
This is a combined reading copy, not embedded file attachments. Fill and flatten forms before using it. Original signatures, outlines and embedded attachments are not preserved; keep all original files.
