Open Adobe Acrobat.
Go to File > Combine Files.
Click Add Files and select the PDF files you want to merge.
Arrange the files in your desired order by dragging and dropping them within the list.
Click Combine to merge the selected files into a single PDF document.
Save the new combined PDF to your preferred location.
You can preview and reorder files before combining to ensure the final PDF is in the correct sequence.
This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
The 'Combine PDF' API is a way for computer programs to automatically merge many files into one PDF. You would use it to save time if you combine many documents often. For example, a system could automatically create daily reports by combining different data files. It can handle up to 20 files and even specific page ranges from each.
No, if your original documents already have page numbers, they will restart for each new document in the combined PDF. To fix this, you will need to add new, continuous page numbers to the combined PDF after you merge the files. This ensures a smooth page count across the entire document.
The order of files matters because Acrobat merges them from top to bottom in the list. The first file in your list will be the first part of your new PDF. The second file will come after it, and so on. You can drag the small pictures (thumbnails) to change this order.
Combining files rarely makes the PDF smaller. Usually, the size stays about the same or gets a little bigger. If you need a smaller file, you should compress the PDF after you have combined all the documents. This will reduce the file size without losing important content.
