How do I merge or combine two documents?

Combine multiple PDFs into one document using the Page Manager — perfect for appending a script revision, adding reference materials (treatments, breakdowns, storyboards), or building a multi-episode shooting packet.


📝 NOTE: Inserting pages via the Page Manager is an Industry Pro feature.


📝 NOTE: This video shows a slightly older user interface, but the instructions are still accurate.



  1. With your main document open, tap the Page Manager icon on the Top Toolbar.



  1. Tap Edit.



  1. Tap Add.



  1. Tap Select Source Document and choose your second file from your device or cloud storage.



✅ TIP: Adding a form or report? Scriptation supports fillable forms and includes free downloadable templates in Scriptation's Library.


  1. With your file selected, tap Add to insert the pages at the front of your document, or Add After Page to choose specific placement. Repeat for as many documents as you want to merge.



  1. Tap Save to confirm.



⚠️ HEADS UP: If you exit the Page Manager without tapping Save, your changes won't be applied.


📝 NOTE: Merged pages come in as Added pages (marked with a black circle in the upper-left of the thumbnail). You can reorder them freely. Native script pages stay locked to preserve Note Transfer.



  • Only need some pages from the second document? Use the copy and paste pages workflow to grab specific pages instead of the whole thing.
  • Need the merged pages to behave as Native? Pre-merge the PDFs in a tool like macOS Preview or Adobe Acrobat, then import the combined PDF as a new script in Scriptation — this is the only way to have the merged pages count as Native for Note Transfer.
