Speedrun rules: zero faff, every second counts. Goal: 50-page deck merged from 5 source PDFs in under 60 seconds.
Ready. Set. Go.
0:00–0:10 — Open and drag
Open Flint merge. Drag all 5 source PDFs in at once. They load into the queue immediately.
If your sources are pre-named with order prefixes (`01_intro.pdf`, `02_market.pdf`, etc.), the queue order is already correct.
0:10–0:30 — Verify and merge
Quick eyeball check: are the sources in the right order? If not, drag rows to reorder. Five seconds typically.
Hit merge. The browser combines all sources in 5–10 seconds for a 50-page output.
0:30–0:50 — Compress
Compress the merged output. A 50-page deck with images can easily be 60+ MB; compression typically brings it to 8–15 MB. Five seconds of processing.
Download the compressed deck. Rename to `<project>_Deck_<date>.pdf`.
0:50–1:00 — Attach and send
Drag the compressed deck into your email or share link tool. Under 10 MB means no bounce risk.
Under a minute, start to finish. Speedrun complete.
FAQ
What if the sources aren't in the right order?
Rename with numeric prefixes before dragging in, or reorder in the queue. Numeric prefixes are faster for repeat workflows.
Can I merge from cloud storage directly?
Download first, then drag into Flint. Adds 5–10 seconds but works reliably across cloud providers.
What's the largest deck I can speedrun?
100+ pages from 10+ sources still fits under 90 seconds. Beyond that, batch the merge in two passes.
Should I flatten the merged deck?
If signed, yes. For unsigned working decks, no — keep them editable for future updates.
60 seconds. 50 pages. One clean deck. Run your next deck speedrun in Flint.
