Combine Vendor Specs

• When combining files, make sure 'Preserve Bookmarks' is checked.
• This creates a bookmark for each original file, making it simple to jump to different sections.
• You can also add continuous page numbers after combining for better flow.

Combining files mostly adds content together; it rarely makes the file smaller. Each file keeps its original quality and size. If your combined PDF is too large, you should compress it after you have finished combining all the files. This will reduce the file size without losing important content.

• This is a known issue. Try saving each original source file again using 'Save As' before combining.
• You can also try adding your files one by one to the combine list.
• If problems continue, use the 'Help > Repair Installation' option in Acrobat.

In Adobe Acrobat, 'combining PDFs' and 'merging PDFs' refer to the same action: taking multiple separate documents and joining them into one single PDF file. The terms are often used interchangeably to describe the process of bringing different files together into a unified document.

Yes, when you use the Adobe PDF Services API to combine files, you have the option to specify page ranges for each file. This means you can choose to include only certain pages from a document, rather than the entire file, when creating your combined PDF. This gives you more control over the final document content.
