Open Adobe Acrobat.
Go to File > Combine Files.

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 can happen if there's an issue with the source files or Acrobat itself. To fix it, try saving each original file again using 'Save As' to refresh its structure. You can also add files one by one to the combine list, or repair your Acrobat installation through the Help menu.
In Adobe Acrobat, 'combining files' and 'merging files' usually mean the same thing. Both actions put multiple separate documents into one single PDF file. The term 'combine' is more commonly used in the Acrobat interface.
No, if your original files already had printed page numbers, the combined PDF will likely show restarts for each new document. You will need to add new, continuous page numbers to the combined PDF after it's created. This ensures consistent numbering throughout the entire document.
The Adobe PDF Services API for combining PDFs typically supports up to 20 files in a single operation. If you need to combine more than 20 files, you would likely need to perform multiple combine operations. For example, combine the first 20, then combine the next 20 with the first combined PDF.
