This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
The 'Combine PDF' feature in Acrobat takes several separate files, like Word documents, Excel sheets, or images, and merges them into a single PDF. It's useful because it helps you organize related documents into one easy-to-share file. This saves time and makes it simpler to manage large sets of information, like a complete loan packet or a report.
No, if your original files already had page numbers printed on them, combining them will usually result in the page numbers restarting for each new file. For example, if you combine two files, both with pages 1, 2, 3, you'll see '1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3' in the combined document. To fix this, you will need to add new, continuous page numbers to the combined PDF after you have merged all the files.
The order of files matters because Acrobat combines them from top to bottom based on how you arrange them. If you want a specific document to appear first in your final PDF, you must place it at the top of the list before you combine. This ensures your final document has the correct flow and structure.
No, combining files rarely makes the overall file size smaller. In fact, it might even make it slightly larger because of the added structure. If you need to reduce the size of your combined PDF, you should use the 'Compress PDF' feature in Acrobat after you have finished combining all your files. This will help make the document smaller for easier sharing.
