FAQ

about this task
  1. Open Adobe Acrobat and select Combine files.
  2. Click Add files and choose your marked offer files.
  3. Arrange the files in the order you want.
  4. Turn on Preserve Bookmarks.
  5. Click Combine and save the new PDF.

The 'Preserve Bookmarks' option keeps bookmarks from each file and makes a new top-level bookmark for each one in the combined PDF. This helps you find each offer or section quickly by clicking on its name in the bookmarks list.

  • Save each offer file again using Save As to refresh it.
  • Add files one by one instead of all at once.
  • Try the Repair Installation option in Acrobat if problems continue.

The order you place the files in Combine files decides how they appear in the final PDF, from the first page to the last. If you want a certain offer or document to come first or last, you must drag it into place before combining. This helps keep your packet clear and organized for the reader.
