Why Merge ARW to PDF?
ARW is Sony's RAW photo format used by Alpha mirrorless cameras (A7 series, A9, A6000 series, A1) and older SLT cameras. ARW files store unprocessed sensor data for maximum editing flexibility, but require Sony Imaging Edge, Lightroom, or Capture One to open. Merging ARW files to PDF creates a universally viewable document — ideal for client proofs, wedding contact sheets, or portfolios.
Each ARW file is rendered and placed as one page in the combined PDF.
