I need to combine a bunch of scanned receipts into one PDF for reimbursement, and the size limit on the upload portal is tripping me up. Has anyone actually compared how these three services handle merging?

Honestly, ilovepdf usually gives me the smallest file size when combining vendor invoices. I would just merge them there first and run it through their compress tool right after if the portal limit still gives you trouble.
