Suggestions for Merging and Sharing Signed Documents Efficiently

My references provided a letter and DocuSign files as separate documents. To simplify things, I usually merge them into a single PDF using Adobe Portfolio, which preserves the signature panel (so both documents become one PDF). However, I’m concerned my reviewer might not have Adobe or could struggle with navigating the files. On the Tech Nation platform, they can open the PDF directly from the portfolio view, but if they try to access it offline or maximize the view, it sometimes prompts them to download Adobe. Does anyone have suggestions for a more reliable way to share these files? Looking for ideas to streamline this process.

All evidence needs to be accessible to the assessor without following links.
Download the merged PDF and submit it.

hello, does this preserve the digital origin/IP address indicators?

For letters you should share the letter and trail directly. However for evidence you can use merging tools. This is common practice. What is important is that you demonstrate that your evidence are authentic. All these requests for trail came about because of doubts in some applications. If you have external proof of your track record as a leader, your application won’t be treated with a pinch of salt.

Hello, thank you for your response.

I want to confirm what you mean by sharing the ‘letter and trail directly’.

I am not sure what the upload environment looks like so I was thinking of making the ‘letter of recommendation’ 2 pages each and attaching the requested cvs as the third page for each.

The letters will be Docusigned. And I plan on requesting the ‘Certificate Of Completion’ for each document but dont know what to do with them, because now the 3 pages are completed.
