Assembling M&A and due diligence review packets locally

Plan this review copy

Begin with the recipient’s document request and access scope. Separate corporate records, financial schedules and personnel information instead of distributing one oversized packet to everyone. Keep version dates and source filenames traceable outside the PDF. TruePage can arrange a review copy; it does not manage data-room permissions, revoke downloaded copies or enforce confidentiality agreements.

A fictional packet with explicit boundaries

The table is an assembly example, not a required submission order. Confirm the recipient’s actual list first; use only authorized copies. The counts are invented to make missing pages easy to detect.

Order	Document	Pages	Check before inclusion
1	Document index	1	Current approved version
2	Financial statements	3	Dates and reporting period
3	Contract copy	2	Approved contract scope

Expected output: 6 — one PDF, in the listed order. Keep separate files when the recipient requests separate fields or categories.

Exclude unrelated records, superseded copies and material the recipient did not request. Removing a page is not redacting sensitive text on a retained page; use an appropriate tool when redaction is required.

Assemble without losing document boundaries

Add the approved files, arrange each complete document in the table’s order, and inspect the boundary between documents. Rotate or remove only the intended page copies. Export all pages under a new name, then open the saved PDF and compare it with the list. If a row is missing or a page belongs to another case, correct the inputs rather than accepting the expected total.

Page organization and export instructions

Before handing it over

Confirm recipient authority, document versions and dates, complete attachments, readable details, filename and output destination. Keep signed originals and authoritative records in their approved system. Use the approved delivery channel; assembly does not complete an upload or submission.

TruePage does not provide OCR, existing-text editing, redaction or signatures. Compression and password operations use a whole source PDF: export the arrangement first. Cloud-synced output folders follow their own policies.
