.
Create merged PDFs
In a merged PDF, converted documents flow into a single PDF as sequential pages.
1 Choose File > Combine > Merge Files Into A Single PDF.
If a PDF is currently open, it appears in the list of included files.
2 In the upper-right corner of the Combine Files dialog box, make sure that Single PDF is selected.
3 From the Add Files menu, choose any of the following:
•
To add individual files, choose Add Files, then select the files.
•
To add all the files in a folder, choose Add Folders, then select the folder.
Note: If the folder contains files that Acrobat does not support for PDF conversion, those files are not added.
•
To add files that you have combined into PDFs in other sessions, choose Reuse Files. Then select a previously
created PDF from the left list, and from the right list, select the component documents. (If you have not used the
Combine Files dialog box before, this option is not available.)
•
To add currently open PDFs, choose Add Open Files, then select the files.
In Windows, you can also drag files or folders from the desktop or a folder into the Combine Files dialog box. Or right-
click the selected items and choose Combine Supported Files In Acrobat.
If any files are password-protected, one or more messages appear, in which you must enter the correct password.
You can add a file more than once. For example, one file could be used for transition pages between other files or a
blank file could be used to add blank pages.
