What the result contains
The result keeps the base document page count and adds the second PDF as an overlay or underlay according to your settings.
PDF Overlay: how it works
Choose the base PDF first and the overlay PDF second. PDF Care rebuilds each base page and draws the second page either above or behind it, with optional first-page repetition and opacity.
How to use this Overlay PDF tool
- Choose the files you want to process.
- Review the selected input and any available options, then choose Overlay PDFs.
- Download the generated result directly to your device.
PDF Care keeps this workflow browser-side so the document contents do not need to be sent to a PDF Care application server for processing.
Questions about Overlay PDF
Are files uploaded when I use Overlay PDF?
No. PDF Care processes this tool locally in your browser, so the document contents are not uploaded to a PDF Care application server.
Which PDF is the base document?
The first selected PDF is the base. The second selected PDF supplies the overlay or underlay pages.
Can one overlay page repeat on every page?
Yes. Keep Repeat first overlay page enabled for letterheads or single-page templates.
