I'm wanting to merge three .tex files together in a way that allows the formatting of each file to remain the same. So I want each file to show in the exact same way as they show when I view them individually.

I've tried using functions such as \input, \include and \pdfpages. But they all seem to change the section numbers, section heading sizes and other aspects.

I've tried downloading each .tex file as a pdf, then including the pdf version in the main .tex file, but it still changes the section numbers, etc.

I'm wanting to have one main file so that I can then add page numbers for the whole thing.

    Why don't you take the three pdfs and join these? This way you can be sure that the three tex files don't influence each other. – gernot Nov 21 '20 at 18:16
  • @gernot. This is what I usually do, but gets annoying having to edit the page numbers. I wanted to see if there was a simple way to do this in latex. – trieasyboid Nov 21 '20 at 18:19
  • There is certainly no simple way in TeX. After the end of the first document, you would have to reset everything to its initial state (except page numbers), modify \end{document} not to end the process, and moreover disable page numbering in the remaining documents. You would have to deal somehow with identical labels in different documents and many more things. – gernot Nov 21 '20 at 18:25

    Have you tried the package pdfpages? See e.g. https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/77751/110998 – gernot Nov 21 '20 at 18:27
  • It's not clear to me whether your are talking about the LaTeX package pdfpages, because it does not change section numbers or font size. – Andreas Matthias Nov 23 '20 at 16:14
