PDF questions

[lostinthewoods]

Hello all. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to combine multiple PDF files into one document.

I'm currently going through my survival book collection and scanning the parts of them that I find extra useful. Now I have about 50 of these individual files on the desktop and I was wondering if there is a way to combine them all into one document. I don't wan them all in one folder I want them all to be contained in one document.


Thanks in advance.

There are multiple ways to get'r done.

Google, merge pdf files...that should get you started.

Assuming you have Adobe Acrobat full version, you can open the program and choose create a new pdf from multiple files.

I do this all the time at work. Have Adobe open. When you select the files to combine, click on the first one, hold down the shift key, and then (while holding it dowon) - click on the last file to be combined. It helps if you've named them with numbers in the order you want them to appear, as you can't shuffle them after the file is created.

Go through the menu and choose File > Create new PDF from > Multiple files (then you select what you want to combine.) It will list the files in a box, but I've noticed that every time the next-to-the-last file will show up as the second file. Sometimes others are out of order, as well. Here's your chance to move them up or down in the list.

Follow the instructions to complete it & save it in a directory where you can find it again. (I find Adobe products aren't "smart" about where they save files - it might not default to where you want it.)

When I have many (sometimes hundreds) of PDF's to print, I put them in a binder this way. Then I can set up print options and click "Print" and I've insured that all of my stuff ties up the printer for the rest of the morning! ;D (Rather than anyone else's!!)
