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.
This issue often happens because the original source files might have internal problems or old structures. To fix this, try re-saving each source file using 'Save As' before combining them. This refreshes their internal structure, which can prevent the repetition error and help Combine Files work correctly.
| Action | What it does | When to do it |
|---|---|---|
| Merging (Combine Files) | Puts many separate PDF documents into one single PDF file. | When you need one document from many sources (e.g., a report packet). |
| Compressing | Reduces the file size of a PDF document. | After merging, if the combined PDF is too large to send or store easily. |
No, if your source documents already have printed page numbers, Combine Files will not make them continuous. Each new section of your combined PDF will start its page numbering over. You will need to add new, continuous page numbers to the combined PDF after you merge it to have a single, flowing sequence.
