FAQ

about this task
  • When you combine files, keep the 'Preserve Bookmarks' option turned on.
  • This will make each original file a main bookmark in your new PDF.
  • You can then click these bookmarks to jump to different sections of your packet easily.

This can happen if there is a problem with the structure of your original files or with Acrobat itself. It's a common issue. To fix it, try re-saving each source file using 'Save As' to refresh its internal structure. If that doesn't work, add your files one by one instead of all at once. You can also try repairing your Acrobat installation from the 'Help' menu.

In Adobe Acrobat, 'merging' and 'combining' PDFs generally mean the same thing: putting multiple separate PDF documents or other file types into one single PDF file. The feature is called 'Combine Files'. It helps you gather all your related documents into one easy-to-share packet.

No, if your original files had their own page numbers, these numbers will restart with each new document in the combined PDF. To have continuous page numbers throughout your entire packet, you will need to add new page numbers after you have combined all the files. Acrobat has a tool to do this.

When using the Adobe PDF Services API for combining files, you can include up to 20 different files in a single operation. This limit helps ensure stable performance for the API.
