This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
This can happen if there is a problem with the structure of your original files. To fix it, try re-saving each source file using 'Save As' to refresh its internal structure. You can also try adding the files one by one instead of all at once. If the issue continues, repairing your Acrobat installation might help.
The 'Combine PDF' API is a tool for computer programs to automatically merge multiple PDF documents. You would use it to automate tasks, like combining weekly reports or creating document packets without needing to open Acrobat manually. It can combine up to 20 files and allows you to specify which pages from each file to include, making it very flexible for large-scale or repeated merging jobs.
No, if your original documents already had printed page numbers, the combined PDF will show those numbers restarting with each new document. To have continuous page numbers across the entire combined PDF, you will need to add new page numbers after you have finished combining the files. This will overwrite the old, individual page numbers.
No, merging files rarely makes the PDF file smaller. Usually, the size stays about the same or even gets a little bigger. If you need a smaller file, you should compress the PDF document after you have finished combining all the files.
